Spring 2013 Graduates
If you are graduating Spring 2013 and want to pursue Optional Practical Training (OPT), you may apply anytime before June 14, 2013, provided that you have not yet left the U.S. Before making an OPT appointment with ISSS, you must view the F-1 Employment Online Workshop on the ISSS website. Be advised that travel outside the U.S. during your 60-day grace period following program completion will make you ineligible to return in F-1 status and apply for OPT; if it is necessary for you to travel during this time, you must submit your OPT application before leaving.
Summer 2013 Graduates will be eligible to apply for OPT starting on May 6, 2013. |
