The Islamic Azad University's activities quickly expanded throughout the country, so that today thousands of students are enrolling every year. Not relying on government funding, it receives charitable donations and charges tuition fees.

The certificates issued by this university are recognized by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and Ministry of Health and Medical Education for medical education.{{Cite web |url=http://www.idjrb.com/articlepdf/idjrb9n1p9.pdf |title=Gholamreza Rahimi, Ghader Vazifeh Damirch, "Islamic Azad University Roles in Scientific Development of Iran", Interdisciplinary Journal of Research in Business, Vol. 1, Issue. 9, (pp. 84–91), September–October 2011 |access-date=2013-09-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712170221/http://www.idjrb.com/articlepdf/idjrb9n1p9.pdf |archive-date=2012-07-12 |url-status=dead }}

Iran's supreme leader declared the financial endowment of Islamic Azad University was "religiously illegitimate and unlawful", prompting a change within the administration of the institution.{{cite web|url=http://mideast.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/07/12/the_battle_over_islamic_azad_university|title=The battle over Islamic Azad University|work=Foreign Policy|access-date=16 July 2015|archive-date=22 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522212704/http://mideast.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/07/12/the_battle_over_islamic_azad_university|url-status=live}}

From the establishment of Islamic Azad University in 1982 to 2013, the admission process of students was through Islamic Azad University's entrance exam which was designed, held, and scored independently by the private university system. Post-2013, its entrance exam was merged with the Public University System. It holds the national entrance exam and some students who get admitted through this process would be exempt from paying any tuitions. However, Islamic Azad University requires tuition which varies by different factors such as program, degree, and location.{{cite web |url=https://www.yjc.ir/fa/news/4191438/%DA%A9%D9%86%DA%A9%D9%88%D8%B1-%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D9%88-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B4%DA%AF%D8%A7%D9%87-%D8%A2%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%85-%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%BA%D8%A7%D9%85-%D9%85%DB%8C-%D8%B4%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF |title=کنکور سراسری و دانشگاه آزاد باهم ادغام می شوند|access-date=2021-03-27}}{{cite web |url=https://www.iaun.ac.ir/%D8%A2%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%B4/%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%87-%D8%B1%D8%B4%D8%AA%D9%87-%D9%87%D8%A7-%D9%88-%D8%AA%D8%B3%D9%87%DB%8C%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B4%D8%AC%D9%88%DB%8C%DB%8C |title=شهریه رشته ها و تسهیلات دانشجویی |url-status=dead |access-date=2021-03-27 |archive-date=2021-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210304122625/https://iaun.ac.ir/%D8%A2%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%B4/%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%87-%D8%B1%D8%B4%D8%AA%D9%87-%D9%87%D8%A7-%D9%88-%D8%AA%D8%B3%D9%87%DB%8C%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B4%D8%AC%D9%88%DB%8C%DB%8C }}
