Eligible students may seek authorization to work in an internship, co-op, or practicum that is directly related to your major field of study.</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> The purpose of CPT is to apply the knowledge and skills you are gaining in the classroom to practical work experience in the U.S. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">CPT is a benefit of maintaining your F-1 student visa status. CPT is not a separate visa category and does not require “sponsorship” from an employer. You must have an offer of employment to apply for CPT. CPT is only available before you complete your degree program and should not be used as a means to extend your SEVIS program end date/degree completion. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">CPT is authorized by a Designated School Official (DSO) at ISS. If your request is approved, ISS will issue you a new I-20 with CPT authorization on page 2. <strong>You must have CPT authorization before you can start your practical training experience.</strong> CPT authorization is typically granted for one semester at a time. You must be enrolled for the semester that you plan to do your CPT experience </span><b>before</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> you submit your </span><b>completed</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> CPT application to ISS, unless your practical training is required by your degree program with no course enrollment. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It may take up to 15 business days for ISS to evaluate your CPT request. Please submit your request as early as possible and ensure that your materials are complete and accurately filled out. Please be advised that if the the Designated School Official needs to reach out to you for additional information, the request may take additional time.
