CPT policy

Last Update hace 2 años

If the employer asks me to continue working into a second semester, do I need to be reauthorized to work on CPT? Do I need CPT authorization for an unpaid internship? How many hours may I work under CPT? What is Part-time CPT vs Full-time CPT? What is CPT? How do I complete the CPT workshop?

Do I need CPT authorization for an unpaid internship?

Yes.


CPT authorization is required for F-1 students for BOTH paid and unpaid internships. Engaging in unpaid activities that would constitute ‘employment’ under labor laws would be considered ‘employed’.  If considering volunteering, please check with ISSO before you start.
