OPT Workshop

F-1 students graduating in SPRING 2020 are highly encouraged to attend an OPT workshop. Workshops will cover important dates and deadlines, application materials, travel questions and information on maintaining your F-1 status. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session. Workshops run approximately 45 - 60 mins.

OPT Workshop schedule:

Tuesdays – 11:00AM
Wednesdays – 3:00PM
Thursdays – 3:00PM
Fridays – 2:00PM/3:30PM*

This workshop will take place in Engineering Hall 106B8 . Please plan to arrive early as the workshops start on time and latecomers will not be admitted. 

*3:30PM workshops will only run until February 28th, 2020.

NOTE: OPT approval can take approximately 120 days. If you have an employment opportunity after graduation, please plan ahead to ensure there is enough time for your OPT application to be approved. There is no expediting service for OPT.

 More information on OPT can be found here.

As federal regulations are subject to change, ISSS recommends students attend an OPT workshop in their final semester of registration. Note: J-1s are not eligible for OPT.
