If the employer asks me to continue working into a second semester, do I need to be reauthorized to work on CPT?

Yes. CPT is authorized by semester. If the end date for your current semester changes, you may need to extend the current internship to the end of the semester, and also request approval for the following semester. Contact JSOMiCometForm@utdallas.edu for an end date change, and submit a new request into ORION for the following semester.
