Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
When to Apply for CPT
Students must have been completed one academic year to participate in a CPT. Students can submit their job offer letter for review as early as 60 days prior to the start of the semester and must submit CPT requests at least 15 working days prior to the start date of the CPT learning experience. This includes the time necessary for departments to approve their portion of the E-Form.
There is no mechanism for expedited processing. If the student submits the CPT request
with not enough time to be processed, the CPT start date will be changed to the date
the CPT application is approved.
