The employer will decide the hours. It may vary from week to week. It may include overtime at the employer’s discretion. There is no upper limit, but we advise students not to overextend themselves – leave enough time to excel both at the internship and in class commitments.
F1 students should keep track of the hours worked and monitor the number of days they have worked on CPT. 20 hours or less per week is considered part-time CPT, and 21 or more is full-time CPT.
