Reminder

The term "Day 1 CPT Universities" is not officially recognized. Instead, it typically refers to universities that allow students to apply for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) from their first semester. However, obtaining CPT approval at the day one of the program is not guaranteed and depends on the timely submission and completeness of the application documents. Typically, it takes 5-15 business days to receive CPT approval after the documents have been received.

🧭 CPT Policy at Curry College

Curry College is dedicated to supporting Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for its F-1 visa students in line with USCIS regulations, specifically 8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)(i), which requires CPT to be an integral part of the established curriculum and directly related to the student’s major field of study.

CPT is authorized on a semester basis, with the end date aligned to the academic term for which the student applies. Students may apply for CPT mid-semester, and the standard processing time is ten business days from the date of application submission.

Employment may only begin once the student has received the CPT I-20, and it must be limited to the specific employer and dates listed on the form. Any changes in employment status, including a change of employer, require a new CPT application and must be reported to the DSO within ten days. Additionally, students must maintain good academic standing to remain eligible for CPT.

If you have more questions about CPT at WUST, please contact us immediately!

Curry College operates on a semester-based academic calendar, offering three semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer) across six terms annually for its Day 1 CPT programs. International students are required to enroll in a minimum of two courses each semester, including one online and one hybrid course. The hybrid course includes required on-site instruction, while the online course offers flexibility for students managing both academic and professional commitments.

Onsite Frequency:
F-1 students must attend an in-person residency once per term, held over a weekend at the Milton Campus. Each residency consists of a full schedule:

Morning Session: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
Lunch & Speaker Session: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
Afternoon Session: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

Students are required to check in daily at the Student Center. Onsite attendance is mandatory, and failure to attend may result in termination of F-1 student status.
