CPT: What happens after I've applied?

1. After you have submitted a CPT Application, it will be reviewed by an Academic Advisor to ensure:
  • your application packet is complete and correct
  • your job is compatible with your program of study
  • you are academically eligible for CPT
While we work hard to expedite all CPT Applications, students must always allow a minimum of 10 business days for CPT Applications to be processed.

2. If you are a new student applying for CPT, your Application will be put on hold until:
  • the $250 non-refundable Admissions Processing Fee has been paid
  • the University Check-In has been completed
  • the student has been enrolled in classes
  • the student's SEVIS record has been released to CU
3. You will be able to follow the progress of your CPT Application through myGlobalCU.
