Additional fees

The full fee schedule (I-20 fee, recurring semester fees, CPT course fees) is not published yet. Beyond H1B sources every institution field from the school's admissions office, DSO or published catalog, so this section stays empty until it is verified and dated.

Scholarships

Scholarship amounts, fee waivers and processing times describe a commercial relationship. They publish only once the agreement with the institution is signed.

05Format and attendance

Onsite frequencyBi-monthly
Onsite scheduleOne residency weekend per 8-week term, Friday through Sunday. Friday opens with class from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, then local company visits, networking and keynote sessions, closing with a leadership dinner. The official end is Sunday at 8:00 PM, with earlier departure allowed.

Annual travel burden: about 6 round trips a year, roughly $1,500 - $3,300 per year. Travel is often larger than the tuition gap between two schools, so we compute it rather than leaving you to.

GPA threshold for CPTPending verification

Current F-1 and OPT students, overseas applicants and change-of-status applicants may be authorized for CPT from day one, renewed each semester by the DSO. CPT is not issued while a change-of-status petition is pending.

Integral CPT is only lawful when the employment is a required, credit-bearing part of your program of study, authorized on your I-20 by the DSO, and matched by continuous full-time enrollment. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT at one degree level removes OPT eligibility at that level.
