In order to apply for CPT a student must provide a letter of employment from the organization they will be working with. The letter must be on company letterhead and contain:
- A description of the work the student will be doing.
- The physical address where the work will take place.
- The hours per week to be worked.
- A description of how this work is related to your educational objective.
- The name and contact information of the student’s supervisor.
In addition to the letter from the student’s employer, the student must provide proof that he or she is enrolled in a course that relates to this training experience or proof that it is required for his or her course of study.
A student will only be authorized for CPT in SEVIS after registering for the corresponding course. ISSSO will not authorize CPT before seeing registration unless the academic advisor sends proof that this experience is a requirement for completion of the academic program or objective.
