CPT

Today I got my CPT from the international student office, which means that I am eligible to do my internship starting from today. Curricular practical training (CPT) is an employment authorization for international students to do the off-campus internship. I cannot do off-campus internship without a CPT in my hands. The CPT requires a lot of documents (passport, employer’s letter, advisor’s letter, SSN) and time (about two weeks) to apply for. That is why I start my internship a little bit late. Other students usually begin doing their internships at the end of May or at the beginning of the June, while I have to wait for my “magic” keys before I can engage in the internship. I will start to do my internship tomorrow, looking forward to it. I will post more on my internship experience!!!
