Acknowledgement (you must sign and date):
I understand that I may not begin employment under Curricular Practical Training until I have a new I-20 from the International
Programs Office which indicates I have authorization for CPT for the current employer and the current dates of employment.
I understand that I may only work during the period indicated on my I-20, and that I may not begin employment prior to the start
date on my I-20 or continue employment later than the end date on my I-20. If I wish to continue employment, I understand I must
reapply for CPT authorization and work only if and when I have obtained a NEW I-20 showing a new period of authorization.
I understand that I may work only for the employer named on my I-20 in the CPT authorization. If I wish to change employers, I
must obtain a new CPT authorization.
I understand that I must register for the relevant academic credit as indicated by my advisor before meeting with my foreign student
advisor in IPO. If I withdraw from the course, I will be in violation of my non-immigrant student status and my employment will be
considered “unauthorized”.
I understand that if I am authorized for Part-Time CPT, I must maintain a normal full course of study (in fall and spring semesters)
and may not exceed 20 hours work in any week during the period of the Part-Time Authorization.
I have read and understand all instructions and guidelines on this form and IPO website. I understand that it is my
responsibility to actively maintain my non-immigrant status, including limiting my employment only to work which is
specifically permitted by immigration regulations.
