I-20 Extension, CPT, OPT, & RCL
To request an I-20 extension, curricular practical training (CPT), optional practical training (OPT), or reduced course load (RCL) students must complete Part 1 of the form and then make an appointment with an Academic Advisor to complete Part 2. The student will submit the completed form along with other required documentation to ISS for approval. Please meet with an International Advisor to discuss any questions.

Reinstatement of F-1 Status
A student who has failed to maintain their F-1 status may either apply to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to be reinstated to lawful F-1 status, or re-enter the U.S. using a new I-20 and pay the SEVIS I-901 fee again using the student’s new SEVIS number.
