S5 Q&A: Can I apply for OPT after my program?

 Possibly - 12 months or more of full-time CPT removes OPT eligibility at that degree level, and part-time CPT doesn't. If you're eligible, you can apply up to 90 days before your program end date and no later than 60 days after it. Our senior consultant checks your CPT history and plans it with you.
