Do I need to complete a minimum of 20 UCF semester hours to qualify for co-op?
• If you are entering UCF as a freshman or as a first time student in the U.S. in a graduate program, you must complete 20 hours at UCF to qualify. However, if you have already earned 20 semester hours in the U.S., in any higher education institution, you already have enough credits to qualify. Employers prefer students to have completed a year of college work before they offer them professional work experience. USCIS requires students to wait nine (9) months before being eligible for CPT.
