• Part time is anything up to 20 hours per week.
• Full time is anything above 20 hours.

• 12 months of full-time CPT at an educational level eliminates eligibility for OPT at that same educational level.
• Academic departments may have set restrictions on how much CPT a student can do, or how many credits can count toward a degree, based on the major curriculum.

The federal regulations connected to on-campus employment for F-1 students and practical training are separate from each other. SEVP guidance has fluctuated over the years, and it appears that SEVP supports the view that these types of employment are separate and students with approved CPT, may also work on-campus. 

Students who engaged at both take on the risk that this interpretation may change. Students also need to make sure they are able to maintain such a workload while keeping up with their coursework.  They also need to make sure both employers are okay with them working another role and that their work hours will not overlap.

The on-campus employment regulations allow students to work on-campus for up to 20 hours per week during Fall and Spring semesters and full-time during the summer semester.  See the on-campus employment page for more information. 

CPT is for off-campus employment, so we do not approve CPT for on-campus internships/work. Internships cannot be used to increase hours worked on-campus regardless if this is paid or unpaid.  While you may engage in an internship on-campus, all on-campus employment must not exceed 20 hours per week during Fall and Spring semesters.  See the on-campus employment page for more information. 

Even If a work experience is unpaid, it still qualifies as work. It would be limited to 20 hours per week on campus or it would need CPT authorization if it was integral to a student鈥檚 degree and an off-campus work experience.

An I-20 cannot be extended for the sole purpose of CPT. There must be an academic reason to request a program extension.

No, students may not drop the CPT-related course.

The student will be considered in violation of their F-1 immigration status if they fail to maintain registration in the CPT related course after being approved for CPT. In this case, the student's I-20 and legal status will be terminated (ended) and the student must meet with an immigration advisor for options.

Proof is required to demonstrate that your practical experience (internship, practicum, field experience, etc.) is an integral part of your curriculum. Each category of CPT requires a different type of proof.

No, students must submit a request for each semester of CPT and register for the CPT-related course.

Yes. Students should consult with academic/faculty advisers for information about courses that are appropriate for CPT prior to submitting the CPT request in iStart.

It is your responsibility to meet all the obligations of the CPT-related course. Our office cannot assist with fee adjustments if you do not find a job, or your CPT is denied.

Remember, you will be ineligible for CPT if you have been approved for a RCL for final semester.
