Answer 1

Answer: A True

Explanation:

CURRICULAR PRACTICAL TRAINING (CPT)

This is a type of off-campus work/internship that is directly tied to the student’s program of study. It is not available after the student complete their respective degree program.

Graduate students can request CPT in their first semester of enrollment, it is an integral part of the student’s graduate studies.

There is no limit to the number of months a student utilizes part-time CPT.

If a student completes 12 months (11 months and 29 days) or more of full-time CPT, he or she will not be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT). It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of the number of months he or she has participated in CPT.
