ARCHIVING

· Have a job offer · Submit the required paperwork by the end of the Add/Drop period for which it is requested · Have completed 3B, 2GB, 2GBX or two full time terms of study in the

Post Graduate EDGE Programs

Important Points:

· 12 or more months of full-time CPT makes the student ineligible for postcompletion Optional Practical Training (OPT) at the same educational level. Part-time CPT does not affect eligibility for post-completion OPT; however, the student must continue full-time enrollment while doing part-time CPT unless working during the summer (or authorized) vacation.

· Students must obtain approval in advance of the start of the internship to change employers or extend their CPT. The internship must be continuous (13 weeks minimum) and have no break in participation to include changing employers once the internship has been approved through both the

Registrar/ International Advisor and Academic Advisor.

· The student will obtain 3 units of credit upon successful completion of the internship and a final letter from the employer is submitted.

· If during the summer term, the student is enrolled only in an Internship, they will not be required to pay the normal seminar tuition but will be required to pay CPT fees.

To make a request, students should submit the following documents to the Registrar/International Advisor: · An I-538 form with Section A completed and signed by the student

· A signed CPT Eligibility Form with both the Academic Advisor and Finance

Office approvals.

· A letter from the employer stating the name of the firm, beginning and ending dates of the position, job description, and whether the job will be full or part-time

ARCHIVING

The SCI-Arc Upload site is the school’s official archive of each semester’s work. This is a mandatory requirement of each student’s coursework, and grades will not be submitted until work is uploaded. This archive will be used for all future publications and graphic material as well as for required accreditation needs of SCI-Arc.

Failure to submit work will result in the witholding of grades.
