No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.
F-1 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: CPT and OPT
At this Zoom meeting, Jackie Chin of the Office of Global Services [OGS] will discuss the F-1 Curricular Practical Training [CPT] for internships before graduation and the F-1 Optional Practical Training [OPT] for work after graduation.
For CPT, the issues reviewed will be: eligibility, process to apply, and length of time.
For OPT, it is especially important for those graduating in May 2021. The issues that will be covered are: eligibility to apply; process of applying to OGS and then to the USCIS; how to choose OPT start date; requirements once approved for OPT; travel; overview of STEM OPT and O-1 visa for Artists.
There will be time for questions at the end.
