Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
CPT (Curricular Practical Training) is for F-1 Student visa holders who wish to take part in a paid or unpaid off-campus internship provided they have maintained their visa status. It is a class and is not meant to be a road to employment. It is vital that your CPT learning experience be an instrumental part of achieving a curricular academic objective.
To maintain your status, you must register, update addresses, obtain authorization for all employment with or from VISA. For detailed information about CPT, including required workshop registration, please click here.
Applying for CPT starts with attending the CPT Workshop. If you are unable to attend the workshop in person, you may email intlstu@odu.edu to request access to view the presentation online.
