Step 1: Record Creation 

Student-Initiated

Terra Dotta ISSS lets you permit students to initiate a Curricular Practical Training (CPT) record online.

Offices are able to create a button or link that can be placed on a Terra Dotta page, an external webpage, or even an email that a student can click to be redirected to Terra Dotta to create a Curricular Practical Training (CPT) record.

Staff-Initiated 

Admins may initiate an online Curricular Practical Training (CPT) record on behalf of a student. Admins may add a Curricular Practical Training request to a student record by going to Record > New Record, locating the student and clicking Yes, then selecting Curricular Practical Training from the drop-down menu and clicking Create. 

 

 

Step 2: Find Curricular Practical Training Request/Record

Navigate to Record > Search. Enter the name of the student whose Curricular Practical Training (CPT) record you would like to review. You may also access their existing CPT record by clicking the record name link to the right of their name on the Search Results page.

 

 

Step 3: Complete or Review SEVIS-Required Data

SEVIS Admin clients may configure their site in one of two ways:

Allow students to complete SEVIS-mapped Question Items for their Curricular Practical Training (CPT) record, 

OR 

Edit the questionnaire to remove it from the student view for the CPT request. By removing it from the student view, only Admins can complete the question items.  To complete this action:  

  1. Process > Questionnaires > CPT Employment Information > Click the edit pencil > Select 'Yes' to 'Is this an internal-use questionnaire?' > Update
  2. Select the checkbox to the left of the Application Cycle(s) you want the questionnaire to be deployed to > Select Apply.

Depending on how your site is configured, Admins should review, edit, or complete the required SEVIS-mapped Question Items in the user's record:

  1. Employment Start Date - Select a date
  2. Employment End Date​ - Select a date
  3. Full or Part-Time Employment​ - Select full-time or part-time
  4. Employer Name - Enter Employer Name
  5. Address Line 1 - Enter employer's street address
  6. Address Line 2 (optional) - Enter employer's suite, office, building number

  9. Zip Code - Enter employer's zip code
  10. Postal Routing Code  -  Enter employer's postal routing code
  11. Relevance to Course Work - Enter text remarks about CPT and course relevance
  12. Remarks - Enter text for employment remarks

When complete, click Submit.
