Rev 10.17.17
International Student Office (ISO)
Post-completion Optional Practical Training (Post-OPT)
What is Post-Completion Optional Practical Training?
Post-OPT is a benefit of F-1 students.
Post-OPT is off-campus employment based on the completion of an Associate Degree or Certificate at Contra
Costa College (CCC), in order to gain work experience or practical training in the field of study while in the U.S.
Employment must be related to the degree earned.
An offer of employment is not necessary to apply for post-OPT.
** You must request post-OPT – see OPT Request Form and Application Checklist.
Eligibility for Post-OPT
Students must be in valid F-1 status
Have been in F-1 status for one continuous academic year (one academic year= 2 semesters).
Enrolled in full-time units each semester or have been authorized to drop below 12 units.
Submitted a Petition for Degree/Certificate to the Admissions & Records office.
Have not previously used the full 12-month OPT benefit on the same academic degree level.
Have not previously used 12 months or more of full-time Curricular Practical Training (CPT).
Paid all fees.
Length of Post-OPT
You have a total of 12 months full-time post-OPT per degree level. If approved for post-OPT, you can work after
the completion of your studies. Employment may be full time and may take place at any location in the U.S.
You may become eligible for another 12 months of post-OPT when you move to a higher educational level in the
U.S. It is important for you to plan on how to want to use your OPT.
o Beginning another degree program does not mean automatic eligibility.
o Example: When you complete your AA/AS degree, you are entitled to 12 months of OPT. Then, if you
complete a Bachelor’s degree you are eligible for another 12 months of OPT. However, if you complete
two Associate’s degrees, you will only have ONE 12 month OPT.
DEADLINES
Earliest you may apply is 90 days before the program completion date.
After completion, you may apply no later than 60 days of the program completion date.
USCIS must receive the post-OPT application within 30 days of the date ISO issues the post-OPT I-20.
o WARNING – If USCIS does not receive your post-OPT application within 30 days of the date the post-OPT
I-20 was issued, the post-OPT application will be denied.
Note: If you miss these deadlines, in order not to violate your F-1 status, you must:
o Leave the U.S. within 60 days of the completion of your studies
o Be admitted to a new program of study or
o Have an application pending for change of status to another non-immigrant status or adjustment of
status to permanent resident
