The article presents the experience of Armavir State Pedagogical University in developing an adaptation program for foreign students, taking into account the multiculturalism of the South of Russia.

Special attention is paid to the structural and meaningful features and technologies for the introduction of adaptation programs, taking into account the specifics of sociocultural, academic, socio-psychological, psychophysiological and everyday adaptation of foreign students.
