OPTIONAL PRACTICAL TRAINING
International students can choose to complete Optional Practical Training (OPT) either before or after their degree
program is completed.
• F-1 students are eligible for a total of 12 months of OPT per degree program. (Includes both pre and post OPT)
• Pre-OPT is requested before the student completes the degree program and post-OPT is requested after the
degree program has been completed.
• The proposed employment must be in the student’s field of study and commensurate with the education level.
• Students are allowed 90 days of cumulative unemployment during post-OPT and will lose their employment
eligibility if they go beyond that amount.
• Students can apply up to 90 days before they graduate and up to 60 days after they graduate. The packet must
be received by USCIS before the end of the student’s grace period.
STEPS FOR THE STUDENT:
Step 1: Read the required OPT information on our website. Contact your academic advisor, department chair, or
professor who may make a recommendation for the work. If the advisor agrees to recommend OPT, fill out sections 1, 2,
and 3. Have your advisor fill out section 4 of this form.
Step 2: Make an appointment with the ISAP office and bring all of the required documents during your appointment.
Documents are listed on the ISAP website: westga.edu/isap/opt
Step 3: After the ISAP office approves the OPT form and issues you a OPT I-20, then you can mail off your application to
USCIS. DO NOT BEGIN WORKING BEFORE YOU RECEIVE AN EAD CARD FROM USCIS.

days. I understand that accruing an aggregate of more than 90 days of unemployment during my post-
completion OPT will result in a violation of the requirements for remaining in valid F-1 status. I UNDERSTAND
THAT I MUST REPORT THE NAME OF MY EMPLOYER AND SEND A COPY OF MY EAD CARD TO ISAP within
10 days of my employment start date Failure to report any changes to employment, address, name, etc. will
result in immediate removal of OPT approval and the student will become out of status.
