The goal of this research was to study the social-cognitive anticipants of adjustment with university in first year students. The research method was descriptive and correlation (casual modeling). The statistical society included all of first year students in Urmia University in academic year 92-93. By using cluster sampling, 330 persons (187 female and 143 male) were selected and answered the questionnaires: Environmental supports, self-efficacy expectations, outcome expectations, goal progress and adjustment with university. Consequently data was analyzed based on structural equation modeling. The results indicated that the analyzed data fitted the theoretical social cognitive model and the model proved to be valid in this regard. The investigation of the results showed that all the casual ways towards the adjustment with universities are positive and meaningful. Among the examined varieties in the model, the source variety and the Environmental supports are capable to predicting and adjusting Student with university better and stronger than other varieties and also can be used for enhancing the mental health level and wellbeing of Student.
