Day 1 CPT Policy at NEC
New England College offers international students with Executive Programs and has helped students from over 25 countries achieve their graduate degrees with their Executive Programs. Executive programs are designed with working professionals in mind. They believe applied academics should be tied to the professions and professions can benefit from practitioners with advanced degrees. The programs are delivered in a hybrid format in which international students complete the program in six semesters (each year has three semesters), with online work during the semester and a three-day campus residency each semester. Please note: Executive programs are a mix of asynchronous and synchronous classes through June 2023. On campus residencies will resume beginning the Summer of 2023.
How to get CPT approval and authorization:
Since all NEC Executive Masters programs require a work placement / internship enrollment from the beginning of the program, CPT will be approved and then authorized by your DSO for eligible experiences tied directly to your program of study so that international students may work immediately from the beginning of your program.
Please be reminded that any prior work authorization (if you had it) ends with your SEVIS record transfer date if you are Transferring to NEC.
Students are not authorized to work again until they receive NEC’s I-20 with a CPT authorization on page 2. Always remember to safeguard your status: Unauthorized work will jeopardize your SEVIS record, your status, and future applications, such as for H1Bs.
To be approved and then authorized for your required Internship and CPT, you will complete an EAF (Employment Authorization Form) which will be provided with your Acceptance materials along with the Next Steps documents.
Your NEC DSO will process your request and send you an I-20 documenting your CPT authorization.
