Are you graduating this semester? Do you plan or wish to gain work experience post-graduation?

OPT is the legal pathway for any F-1 student who graduates this semester to acquire more work experience in their field of study. If you wish to engage in OPT, you should begin your application process several months prior to graduation.

Attend an OPT session as soon as possible to learn about deadlines and restrictions. A Q&A session is part of this training, so bring your questions and learn how to take advantage of this important benefit.
