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.

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