2. Viterbi Master's International students in their final semester and enrolled in ENGR 596, ENGR 597 or ENGR 598 for CPT must have an approved CPT before we review your petition. Please register for the on-campus section until your DEN Petition is processed to avoid any registration issues and potential late registration fees.

Who Cannot Submit This Form?

2. Any student waiting to get into an on-campus section of a course that has a course time conflict
