After you graduate
Graduates of this program are eligible for 12-mo OPT / 36-mo with STEM extension in USA. Work rights are set by government policy rather than the university, and they change — check the current rules before you rely on them.
Rules in fluxDHS rule ending Duration of Status was blocked by a federal judge on 14 Sep 2026; existing rules stand while litigation continues.
What the headline leaves outSTEM extension requires the programme's CIP code to be on the DHS STEM list AND an employer enrolled in E-Verify. Max 90 days unemployment on initial OPT, 150 across both.
