Curricular Practical Training

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Non-immigrant students in the United States (people in the United States with valid F-1 status) may apply for temporary employment authorization while enrolled in a college-level degree program. This employment authorization is called Curricular Practical Training, or CPT.

CPT permission is obtained through the university's International Students Office or equivalent upon approval of advisor, pursuant to Regulations established by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service.
