In general, international students (F1 /J1 visa) can work 20 hours per week on-campus while school is in session and 40 hours per week during winter, spring and summer breaks. Students may request Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) while school is in session. CPT allows a lawful F-1 student to engage in “alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education or any other type of required internship or practicum experience in their field of study.” CPT requires approval from the Academic Advisor and an international advisor. Students who finish the course of study may apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) for a period of 12 months. Students who are interested in applying for CPT or OPT must attend the workshops offered by the OISS. Check the activities calendar for the workshops’ date and time. The students with J1 visa can apply for Academic Training (AT) and the OISS holds AT workshop during fall semester. Please take a look at activity calendar for AT workshop schedule. If you have any questions related to employment on-campus and off-campus, please check on-campus web or off-campus web for more information. |
