Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
国际 students who are required by their degree program to obtain practical experience may be eligible for this type of training in a full-time or part-time capacity. To find out whether or not this is a requirement of your degree program, please check with your academic advisor or your department.
Curricular Practical Training comes with no time limits; therefore, students may engage in this training for as long as it is required. However if students participate in FULL-TIME Curricular Practical Training for more than twelve months, they will not be eligible for the second type of practical training or Optional Practical Training. Students must also complete their Curricular Practical Training prior to their graduation from Lawrence Technological University.
How To 应用 For CPT

Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is available to F-1 students who have maintained their F1 status for one year. Students MUST attend two full-time semesters before being eligible for employment benefits on CPT. F-1 students can work off campus with authorization of the U.S. government if this work is part of the student’s curriculum (for example a co-op or a directed study course) To be eligible for CPT you must be enrolled in a course that will provide the credits for your working experience.
