就业 & 实习

Your on-campus employer will provide a work authorization for you to provide to our office. (http://www.msudenverjobs.com/postings/search ) Upon approval, you will be able to work:

1. 1. 20 hours a week during the semester
   2. 40 hours/week during Winter/Summer breaks

If your program offers or requires CPT, please meet with the DSO to discuss your 具体的 situation. CPT 必须 meet certain criteria including being registered for a course congruent with the training. CPT:

1. 1. 发生 之前 the student’s program end date on the Form I-20
   2. Training is an integral part of the school’s established curriculum.
   3. Training relates directly to the student’s major area of study.
   4. Authorization is for one 具体的 雇主及 具体的 时间长度.
   5. Students 必须 secure the training opportunity 之前 CPT可以被授权.
   6. CPT必须经过授权 之前 the student can begin work.
   7. Students can have more than one CPT authorization at the same time.
   8. 一年 全职 CPT eliminates a student’s eligibility for OPT.

注意: Students doing CPT can still retain their 20hrs/week on-campus employment.

If you are interested in OPT, please meet with a DSO to discuss your 具体的 situation.

1. 1. Students do not have to secure training 之前 the DSO can recommend OPT.
   2. Allows the student to work for any employer, if the training relates to the student’s major course of study
   3. 可能发生 之前 or 后 the student’s program end date (See DSO).
   4. Students are eligible for an additional 12 months of OPT authorization, when they change to a higher educational level. (Example: 本科 Degree> OPT> 研究生 Degree> OPT)

Under certain rare circumstances students may work outside of the reasons listed above. DSO approval is required.
