Fall 2024 OPT Workshops
If Fall 2024 is your final semester enrolled in required coursework, you can begin applying for OPT on September 20, 2024.
To prepare you for the OPT application process, the ISSS Team will be hosting workshops throughout the semester. We highly recommend that you attend the next OPT workshop in October.
Our OPT Workshops will be a hands-on walk-through of completing your application. We will provide you with a step-by-step guide to apply for OPT and work through completing your USCIS I-765 online application.
Workshop information:
- October 18, 2024 - 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
To participate in our workshops, we recommend that you complete the Online OPT Application Training and submit the "Acknowledgement of Training" at the end of the module by 12p.m. on October 16th to best prepare you for the hands on workshop day
After you complete the online training, our office will contact you with the details of the workshops.
