CPT and Full-Time Enrollment Requirements

Undergraduate students must be enrolled for at least 12 credit hours in a semester. Graduate students must be enrolled for at least 9 credit hours. In addition, graduate students need to be enrolled at least 2 credit hours during their final semester (summer included).

If you are doing a full-time CPT:

• If full-time CPT lasts 12 weeks or more during a Fall or Spring Semester, the student may* be eligible to enroll in less than a full course load.
• If full-time CPT lasts less than 12 weeks of a Fall or Spring Semester, the student is required to be enrolled in a full-time course load** (including the CPT course)
• During summer, students can enroll for the CPT-related course only. No additional registration is required for immigration purposes. 

Part-time CPT: 

• Students authorized for part-time CPT during a Fall or Spring Semester must be enrolled in full-time course load** (including the CPT course) no matter the duration of the CPT experience
• During summer, students can enroll for the CPT-related course only. No additional registration is required for immigration purposes.

*Approval of full-time CPT that will last 12 weeks or more does NOT automatically authorize a student to drop below full-time. This will be evaluated during the application process. You must consult with your academic advisor to determine what courses you must register for in addition to your internship in order to maintain normal academic progress.

 **Full-time enrollment requirements for students are as follows:

• Undergraduate: 12 credit hours of which only 3 credits can be online
• Graduate: 9 credit hours of which only 3 credits can be online
• Reduced Course Load (RCL), authorized by OIS, counts as full-time enrollment
