ISSS has made a change to the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Application process that we want you to be aware of, in case you are currently preparing your CPT application. CPT is an authorization that ISSS can provide to F-1 visa students to do internships on or off campus that are part of your UConn curriculum.

For any application submitted March 8 or after, we will require a new form called the ISSS 368 CPT Employer Addendum. This will only be required for paid CPT positions. If your position is not paid, you do not need to submit this new form.

The employer addendum form will help to ensure that your employer knows your internship forms part of your academic program, and that your employment is bound to the terms and limitations of CPT. The CPT applicant is responsible to provide this form to your employer for completion, and you will submit this to ISSS along with your offer letter and proof of course enrollment (if the CPT is tied to credit bearing work).

You can find the updated CPT application instructions here. Please reach out to your ISSS advisor with any questions regarding this form.
