US Tightens Oversight of Internships for International Students, Universities Respond
The Trump administration issued a federal memo on August 24 tightening oversight of Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for international students in the US. The memo warns universities that violations of CPT rules—requiring internships to be integral to academic programs—could risk their certification to enroll foreign students. In response, institutions like UCLA and UC Berkeley have paused certain CPT applications while reviewing the guidance. The memo does not create new visa rules but emphasizes compliance with existing regulations.
