改变专业
F-1 students are required to notify International Services and the Department of 首页land Security when there is a substantive change in the information on your Form I-20 academic programs and/or degree levels. Examples of changes that require notification are: a change in major field; a change in degree level; a change in major field and degree level.
Practical Training
Some F-1 students are eligible for practical training, an employment benefit that allows you, as an F-1 student, to gain practical, professional experience in your field of study. There are two types of F-1 practical training: curricular practical training (CPT) and optional practical training (OPT).
CPT is employment used to satisfy the requirements of a required or elective internship,
practicum, or fieldwork course. OPT, unlike CPT, does not require you to register for an internship, practicum, or fieldwork course.- F-1 Curricular Practical Training Overview and Request Form
