CPT is always tied to academic enrollment. If a student withdraws or drops the course linked to CPT authorization, the DSO is obligated to cancel the CPT in SEVIS. CPT cannot exist independently of curricular requirements, and employment without the linked academic element becomes unauthorized. Options A, C, and D do not directly trigger CPT cancellation under regulations.

When authorizing CPT, the DSO must enter essential details such as the employer’s name, physical location, the start and end dates of employment, and the designation of the position as part-time or full-time. This information is then printed on the updated I-20 form, serving as the official documentation of the student’s work authorization. Options A, C, and D are not required fields for CPT authorization, making option B correct.

CPT is employer-specific. If a student changes employers or the job details change significantly, the DSO must update the CPT record in SEVIS. A new I-20 reflecting the updated authorization must be issued before the student can begin work with the new employer. Failure to update constitutes unauthorized employment.

Accumulating 12 months or more of full-time CPT eliminates a student’s eligibility for Optional Practical Training (OPT). However, part-time CPT does not affect OPT eligibility.
