OPT & CPT Workshops Spring 2022
What is OPT? Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) is a 12-month, full-time work authorization granted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to work in your field of study once you complete your degree. Students who are graduating at the end of this semester and are interested in working after graduation must attend an OPT workshop.
What is CPT? Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is work authorization in your field of study. You must earn academic credit to participate in CPT. This can be done through Work-Based Learning or an integral part of an established curriculum in which the opportunity must be required for your degree. Students who are interested in learning more about working while studying must attend a CPT workshop.
