No, the student should be in an “on-site” face-to-face work environment to fully experience the work culture and team dynamics.

  • The student can be hired under CPT up to their graduation date and may continue employment on Optional Practical Training (OPT) after graduation.
  • Our international students often offer past work experience blended with US education and can be hired for internships under Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) for roles aligned with their current education program. The role must offer a supervised workplace learning experience and not replace a full-time employee or be an independent contractor.
  • The F1 student must meet the CPT eligibility criteria, including being enrolled in a US university for a full academic year and the student must be approved for CPT prior to the start of the internship.
  • The student must be enrolled in an internship course at the same time as employed in an internship, and there are stricter requirements for start and end dates. See timelines. A student can be hired for a 6-month co-op program, but must be approved for CPT for both semesters.

UT Dallas offers two different tuition plans. The variable tuition rate plan is based on a traditional plan that only locks tuition rates in for one academic year at a time. The rates on the variable tuition plan are subject to change each academic year.

The guaranteed tuition plan is a plan that locks tuition rates in for four consecutive years and protects the student against increases during those four years. This plan is designed to aid students and families in the budget and planning of college expenses.

All new incoming students will be automatically placed into the variable tuition rate plan, but will have the option to lock in their tuition rates for four consecutive years with the guaranteed tuition plan.

To make your tuition plan choice, please follow these instructions on this page https://www.utdallas.edu/finance/bursar/tuition/
