Employment as an F-1 International Student
During your four years at ASC, you qualify for Curricular Practical Training (CPT). After graduation, you may qualify for Optional Practical Training (OPT). 如果你正在寻找校外工作，无论是在你的四年或毕业后, you must get approval before accepting any offers.
什么是CPT?
课程实践培训(CPT)是一项临时就业许可福利，适用于攻读学位课程的F-1学生，以获得与其专业学习直接相关的实践经验.
CPT在8 CFR 214中定义.2(f)(10)(i) as an “alternative work/study, 实习, 合作教育, 或由赞助雇主通过与学校的合作协议提供的任何其他类型的必要实习或实习”，并且可能被授权进行培训，这是“既定课程的重要组成部分”.”
使用CPT的不同方法
您可以选择以下任何一种选项，将CPT视为课程的组成部分:
实习或实习
参加实习或实习是你的项目的一项要求，也是毕业的必要条件.
学术推荐实习
If your program does not have a required 实习 or practicum, 如果学术上推荐你参加实践培训，以加强和补充你的课堂学习，你可能有资格参加CPT. 学术推荐实习由实习和职业发展办公室批准. These approved 实习s have associated academic credit, 哪一个可以在实习课上完成，或者有时与教师进行一对一的有监督的实习.
CPT can be done during fall, spring or summer semesters. 可能是兼职，也可能是全职.
兼职
- Time accrued does not affect Optional Practical
- 每周20小时或更少
- Students may choose to continue working on-campus up to 20 hours per week.
全职
- 每周最多工作21- 40小时
- 在同一学术水平上接受365天或以上全日制CPT的学生没有资格参加选择性实践培训(OPT)。.
- Students may not work on-campus while on full-time CPT.
在CPT上注册
如果你正在攻读cpt批准的实习，你必须注册学分. 另外, if you are pursuing CPT in the fall or spring semesters, you must maintain full-time enrollment while on CPT. 如果你在夏季学期攻读CPT，但没有在夏季学期毕业, you are only required to enroll in the 实习 course. 然而, if you are pursuing CPT over the summer and plan to graduate that same summer semester, you'll be required to maintain full-time enrollment.
If you are interested in applying for employment off-campus, 你需要在他们开始工作之前联系你的移民顾问以获得授权.
什么是OPT?
选择性实习培训(OPT)是一项临时就业福利，适用于一直保持移民身份的F-1学生. 它的目的是让学生有机会在校外工作，并在与学生学习课程直接相关的领域获得工作经验. 每个学位级别的就业总共限制为12个月，并可能在完成学业后授予. Eligibility for OPT must first be determined by your immigration Advisor. 如果符合条件, OPT之后会在学生的I-20表格上背书，并作为申请包的一部分发送到指定的美国公民及移民服务局(USCIS)办公室进行裁决. Please contact your immigration advisor for more information about the process of OPT.
资格要求
Students must be in valid F-1 status at the time of the application. 在申请之前，学生必须在全日制基础上注册一个学年.
Students are eligible for one year of OPT per higher level. This means you may apply for one year of OPT for the bachelor’s level, 硕士水平一年, 博士阶段是一年. Students may apply up to 90 days prior to graduation. The application must be received by USCIS no later than 60 days after graduation.
