CPT Policies

  • CiAM requires students to complete at least one semester of internship before graduation.
  • CiAM supports Transfer F1 and Initial F1 students in using Day-1 CPT.
  • Each CPT application can be valid for one semester.
  • On-site class attendance is mandatory; failure to attend may affect the normal use of CPT.
  • Maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher is necessary to retain Full-time F1 status and continue renewing CPT.
  • If the student has already been an F1 student for over a year, they can apply to start CPT from the first day of the class. Otherwise, for initial F1 and those who haven’t been a F1 student for a year, they can apply for CPT as soon as the third semester at CiAM
  • Usually CPT can be approved in a week. If the student cannot present a CPT agreement signed by the employer, they can contact us and we can help negotiate with the school to waive CPT agreement.
