Date of Submission *

I understand and agree to the following: *

CPT must be renewed each semester.

CPT grants me work authorization only for the specified dates on my I-20.

If completing CPT during the fall or spring semester I am required to be enrolled full-time unless I have been approved a Reduced Course Load.

I am permitted to only work at the employer listed on my I-20.

Accumulating more than 12 months of full-time CPT will make me ineligible for OPT.

To work only full-time or part-time depending on my CPT authorization (full-time is more than 20 hours per week and part-time is 20 or less hours per week).

I must pick up my new I-20 at ISSS.

If this is my last semester and I will be less than full-time I must also submit a Reduced Course Load.

I must maintain continuous enrollment in a course that requires CPT during the entire semester for which CPT is authorized. Failure to maintain enrollment in the CPT designated course will result in the termination of the student's CPT work authorization and the student will no longer be permitted to legally work.
