About this session
On August 12, SEVP sent a broadcast message to DSOs about CPT authorization. It spread quickly online, and students have been asking one question ever since: is Day 1 CPT banned?This session answers that by reading the actual documents — the broadcast, the CPT regulation, and DHS's Duration of Status rule from July. An immigration attorney will explain what a broadcast message is, what legal weight it carries, and what would actually have to happen for CPT rules to change. An SEVP-certified PDSO will explain what's happening inside compliance offices right now, and why schools are responding differently to the same document.
