If you have students on CPT who need to “extend” their internships, they must submit a new CPT Request in MyISSS. The new request allows the Terra Dotta software to do its job and we can process the extension as a new CPT authorization. (Ultimately, it saves us time and keeps a better immigration record for the student.)
The CPT Update Form in MyISSS has three purposes:
- Cancel CPT
- Shorten CPT
- Change Credit for CPT
The Changing Credit for CPT is the most common. PLEASE advise students to use the form to update credits rather than emailing uwiss@uw.edu. As I’m sure you’re all experiencing, the UW email system is an ocean of unresponded-to yet important information requests. If we can point the students to the correct form early, we’re all in better shape long term.
