The Vice-Chancellor for Education and Graduate Studies at Amirkabir University of Technology has announced that the university's new academic term will begin on September 19, 2026, for all undergraduate and graduate students. He noted that courses for graduate students in their third semester and beyond will start on that date, while courses for newly admitted graduate students will begin with a delay of approximately two to three weeks.
According to the Public Relations Office of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Morteza Kolahdoozan, addressing the university council meeting, referred to the academic calendar for the new academic year and stated that information regarding the academic calendar has been communicated to university staff through the Offices of Education and Graduate Studies. He confirmed that the new term will begin on September 19, 2026.
He added that, in line with last year's practice, courses for graduate students in their third semester and beyond will begin on September 19, 2026. Courses for newly admitted graduate students will begin with a delay of approximately two to three weeks, in accordance with the schedule for the announcement of admission results by Iran's National Organization for Educational Testing.
The Vice-Chancellor for Education and Graduate Studies further explained that this delay will be offset by allocating additional class time during the initial weeks of the term. Accordingly, during the first six weeks of the term, class time will be increased by a factor of 1.5.
Regarding the start date of undergraduate classes, Dr. Kolahdoozan said that approximately two weeks ago, the Head of Iran's National Organization for Educational Testing announced that the results of the National University Entrance Examination would be released in mid-November 2026. He noted that planning at the university has proceeded on this basis since that announcement, with the remaining weeks until the end of the term calculated accordingly.
He further stated that, in the worst-case scenario, should classes begin in late November 2026, seven weeks would remain until the end of the term. He emphasized that if classes begin two weeks earlier, in mid-November 2026, the situation regarding the need for make-up classes would naturally be more favorable.
The Vice-Chancellor for Education and Graduate Studies noted that the university's faculties are currently coordinating to secure class schedules, and that part of the planning process is also being carried out automatically, based on procedures followed in previous years.

Turning to the admission of new doctoral students, he stated that PhD candidates are currently in the process of registration and completion of their admission files, and that their admission has already been formally announced.
Regarding course registration for new doctoral students, Dr. Kolahdoozan explained that all graduate-level courses must be defined within the university's academic portal system so that students can view and select them. He stressed that any approved course must first be entered into the system.
He added that, since this is the first time doctoral student registration is being conducted through the Behestan system, each newly admitted PhD student must submit two to three courses—determined by their academic supervisor—to the Graduate Studies Office of their respective faculty for entry into the system; otherwise, course registration will not be possible.
The Vice-Chancellor for Education and Graduate Studies also addressed the university's Office of Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development, noting that this topic had been discussed in previous meetings and that a program of courses has been arranged for the coming year, part of which is intended for junior faculty members.
He added that procedures governing participation in these courses for junior faculty members are currently being finalized, addressing matters such as employment status conversion and faculty promotion.
Dr. Kolahdoozan concluded by noting that certificates of professional development will be issued for these courses and provided to participating faculty members for use in matters related to employment status conversion and academic promotion.
