🧭 CPT Policy at Avila University Arizona

Avila University Arizona follows all ICE, USCIS, SEVP, and DHS guidelines to provide Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for eligible international students.

CPT Authorization Dates

CPT is authorized only at the start of each academic session:
Fall 1 / Fall 2 / Spring 1 / Spring 2 / Summer 1 / Summer 2

To avoid delays, submit all required documents before your session begins. Late submissions may be accepted, but processing may take longer than one week if received after the session start date.

Eligibility Requirements

• You must be enrolled full-time (at least 6 credits per semester).
• You must have completed at least one academic year in the U.S.

How to Request CPT

1. Submit a complete CPT request form.
2.  Provide proof of employment:
   • Your hiring manager or supervisor must email a verification directly to our office.
   • Your academic advisor must also email confirmation directly to our office.
3. If the employer is unable to use the required job offer template, the university may accept an alternative offer letter, provided it includes all of the following:
   
   • A statement similar to: "This letter is to confirm that [Student Full Name] has been offered a practical training opportunity with [Company Name] as a [Position Title].
   • Official company letterhead
   • Signature of the hiring manager or supervisor, including their contact information
   • A description of the duties and responsibilities
   • The physical address of the work location
   • The employment start date
   • The number of hours per week
   • The employment end date (if applicable)

Processing Time

Your CPT request will be processed within one business week after all documents are received. Submitting duplicate requests will delay processing for everyone.

CPT Authorization Cycle

CPT authorizations are reviewed every 8 weeks to make sure:

• You remain employed at your approved site
• Your work still meets the eligibility criteria
• Any job changes are properly reported

Failure to respond to university requests for updates or follow-up information may result in the revocation of your CPT authorization.
