OPT is a valuable benefit of being an F-1 student. This information will help you apply for OPT.
Please review all information on this page PRIOR to applying for Optional Practical Training.
Do NOT apply online through the USCIS website for OPT until you have received an I-20 with an OPT recommendation from Global Learning (International Community). Applying online too early, without first having OPT requested, will cause your application to be rejected or possibly even denied.
