Optional Practical Training (OPT)

Some students decide to work full-time or part-time off campus while in the U. S.  Only students who apply for Optional Practical Training may do so.  It is not recommended to engage in off-campus employment until you have completed your program of study.  OPT must first be approved by the International Student Advisor at DSU.  To apply, go to http://www.deltastate.edu/docs/international_students/OPT%20steps.doc
