S2 Q&A: If my H-1B is approved while I'm in the program, can I finish my degree?

Possibly, but it changes how you study: CPT is an F-1 benefit, so it ends when your status changes from F-1 to H-1B, and whether you can continue the program depends on your school's rules. When the change happens depends on the petition, so plan it with our senior admission consultant and your DSO before the approval or start date: https://goelite.com/meetings/wending/initial-consultation. Don't drop classes or leave the program before that conversation.
