In-Person Learning Requirement
Viterbi Career Connections (VCC) will review your internship course application information and documents submitted to adhere to all course requirements as provided on our website. This includes the In-Person Learning Requirements for Viterbi Students Participating in CPT. Viterbi will only approve fall or spring CPT applications for out-of-area internship opportunities after students agree to the following conditions on the application:
- You must physically attend all enrolled courses in person to comply with F-1 student regulations.
- You may not seek alternative attendance requirements or accommodations with your professors
- You must acknowledge that failure to comply with the in-person attendance requirement may jeopardize your current F-1 status as well as your ability to secure a future work visa post-graduation
If your internship opportunity allows you to agree to the conditions above, then you should have no problem getting course approval.
