Posted at 17:54h in HQ by

SEVP’s August 12, 2026 Broadcast Message (BCM 2608-01) signals heightened scrutiny of CPT authorization. SEVP reminds DSOs that CPT must be a required, integral component of an established curriculum, not a means to create employment opportunities. Schools and DSOs that improperly authorize CPT may face investigation, loss of SEVP certification, and potential legal consequences.
