Post-Completion Optional Practical Training
(Post-OPT)
If you are graduating during the upcoming semester and are interested in applying for employment authorization, you MUST attend a Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (Post-OPT) Workshop. Time-sensitive deadlines for the Post-Completion OPT process are set by U.S. government, so plan to attend the first event, if possible.
The ISSO holds two primary Post-Completion OPT workshops each semester. We strongly encourage AND expect you to attend one Post-Completion OPT Workshop.
Click here to sign up for the first Post-Completion OPT Workshop on Zoom.
Can’t attend a Fall 2026 workshop? We’ll post a recording of the first workshop under “Application Resources” on the main Post-Completion OPT page.
For more information about Post-Completion Optional Practical Training, visit our Employment Page.
Sessions begin promptly at time shown, and last about one to two hours, depending on number of questions we get in the Q &A. Please plan accordingly.
