This article outlines the steps to cancel in the SEVIS batch an approved Curricular Practical Training (CPT) authorization. Note, SEVIS prohibits DSOs from taking this action after the CPT start date. Attempting to cancel an approved CPT after the start date will result in a failed batch event that will be flagged with the batch download.

Step 1: Find the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Record
