FAQ: Off-Campus Q1. When can I start working? You may begin working only after receiving your new I-20 with CPT authorization and once your CPT start date has arrived. Q2. Do unpaid internships require CPT? Yes. Any off-campus internship related to your academic program requires CPT authorization, even if the position is unpaid. Q3. Can I change employers or locations? Yes, but you must receive new CPT authorization and an updated I-20 before starting the new position. Q4. What if I want to work more hours? Changing from part-time (20 hours or less) to full-time (more than 20 hours per week) requires new CPT authorization. Keep in mind that 12 months or more of full-time CPT eliminates OPT eligibility at the same degree level. Q5. Does part-time CPT affect OPT? No. Part-time CPT does not affect OPT. Only 12 months or more of full-time CPT cancels OPT at the same degree level.
