Official U.S. transcripts may be submitted electronically through an approved transcript service or sent directly to 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ by the issuing institution.

Academic records completed outside the United States must be evaluated by an approved credential evaluation provider. Graduate applicants should request a course-by-course evaluation and follow the provider’s instructions for sending the completed evaluation and supporting records to 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ.

Curricular Practical Training, commonly called CPT, allows eligible F-1 students to participate in employment or an internship that is directly related to their academic program.

Students generally must complete one full academic year before becoming eligible. CPT requires approval for each term, and students must work with their Designated School Official before beginning employment.

Do not begin working until your CPT has been approved and your updated Form I-20 has been issued.

Graduate transfer credit may be considered when prior coursework is comparable in academic level, content, credit hours, and learning outcomes to the requirements of the selected 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ program.

Official transcripts are required. The appropriate academic school or department will review the coursework and determine whether it may be applied to the student’s degree plan.

Transfer-credit limits and approval requirements may vary by graduate or doctoral program.

Scholarship availability, tuition assistance, and payment options may vary by program, location, and academic term.

International students should contact their admissions representative and 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ’s Financial Aid Office to review current opportunities and determine which resources may be available.

F-1 students may be eligible for limited on-campus employment and for approved practical training related to their field of study.

Off-campus employment generally requires prior authorization through Curricular Practical Training, Optional Practical Training, or another qualifying employment category.

Speak with your Designated School Official before accepting a job or beginning any employment. Unauthorized employment may jeopardize your F-1 status.
