F1 Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
美国.S. Department of Homel和 Security regulations state that Curricular Practical Training (CPT) must be directly related to the major 和 an integral part of an established curriculum.
CPT是 defined as "alternate work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum which is offered by sponsoring 雇主s through cooperative agreements with the school." Thus, CPT for F-1 students is intended to provide work experience in situations where the work serves as an integral part of a student's academic program, prior to completion of that program. CPT授权 must be granted before starting paid or unpaid off-campus employment. 在某些情况下, volunteer experiences require CPT授权.
Questions or concerns regarding CPT may be referred to campus DSOs.
