OISSS Presenters: Elke Breker, Kelsey Dennis, and Sonja Paulson

The Curricular Practical Training (CPT) segment of this presentation is of particular interest to undergraduate and graduate students who have been in F-1 status for a minimum of one academic year, and who would like to explore options pertaining to internships off campus.

The second part of the presentation addresses questions related to Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 students who are interested in utilizing this employment authorization during the summer, or who plan to complete their academic program in 2022/2023.

Please note: Students who plan to complete their academic program during the fall 2022 semester are strongly advised to apply for post-completion OPT as early as 90 days before their anticipated completion date.
