CPT in the Final Term/Graduation Semester

You can be authorized to engage in CPT in your final term as long as the following requirements are met:

• You must still be working toward your degree requirements in your final term.

• Your CPT experience must either be required or optional training in your major (if the experience is optional, you must do the CPT for internship credit).

• CPT is limited to part-time (20 hours or less) if taking place during the fall or spring semesters.

  • For certain graduate programs full-time CPT may be permitted; see the section above on Part-time versus Full-time CPT.
