There is no limit to CPT, and it is possible to have multiple part-time CPT jobs at once. Part-time CPT is up to 20 hours per week, and full-time CPT is up to 40 hours per week. Students who engage in full-time CPT must still be full-time students during the academic year.
CPT is defined as alternative work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum that is offered by sponsoring employers through cooperative agreements with the school which must be "an integral part of an established curriculum" (8 CFR 241.2(f)(10)).
International students enrolled full time and in valid F-1 status can generally work on-campus for up to 20 hours per week during when classes are in session, and up to 40 hours per week when classes are not. The United States has strict rules for international students who want to work during their studies.
No employer sponsorship is needed for students to work using CPT. However, the application requires the employer to provide a job offer letter indicating the student's name, job title and job duties, number of hours/week (or full-time/part-time), location of employment and employment start and end dates.
Students can work part-time on campus up to 20 hours and part-time on CPT simultaneously. Example: Students can work up to 20 hours per week on-campus and additionally up to 20 hours per week on part-time CPT or over 21 hours per week on full-time CPT so long as the work does not interfere with academic progress.
Students must choose between full-time CPT and part-time CPT. Students who pick full-time CPT may work as many as 40 hours a week, while students who choose part-time CPT may work up to 20 hours per week.
