What is CPT?
CPT stands for Curricular Practical Training. It is often used by students to get internship
and work experience. Many students will use CPT to obtain off-
campus work.

Who gets a CPT?
An F-1 nonimmigrant student may begin CPT after the Designated School Official has completed the Form I-20 endorsement page. CPT is alternative work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum that is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school. A CPT must be a part of an established curriculum.

Remember! In order to apply for CPT, the student must have
a job offer; further, to accept CPT, the student must complete one academic year, or be enrolled in a language program prior to the completion of their studies. The student must request CPT from their designated school official (DSO) and follow the procedures established by the school official. A graduate student, however, may have CPT authorized by their school official during the first semester of the academic program if the program requires practical experience.
