CPT Application Form
West Virginia University
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is work authorization that allows F-1 international students to
participate in paid/unpaid off-campus academic internships during their degree program. The purpose
of CPT is academic, not just for employment purposes, and the internship must be considered an
integral part of an established curriculum and directly related to the student's major area of study.
Students must have a specific job/internship offer to apply.
