New Restrictions on Internships for International Students in U.S. Universities
By Editor • September 2, 2026 • 1 min read
International students in the U.S. are encountering increased challenges as several prominent universities implement restrictions on Curricular Practical Training (CPT), which is essential for internships.
This shift arises in response to recent directives issued by the Student and Exchange Visitor Programme (SEVP) under U.S. Immigration regulations, aiming to clarify the employment conditions for foreign students.
As a result, many universities are reevaluating their policies regarding off-campus work, significantly affecting the opportunities available to international scholars.
