Columbia updates its CPT response timeline and hardship fund information

BeforeThe CPT entry described Columbia’s requirement, pause scope and existing authorizations without the hardship fund.
AfterAdd the September 24 response timeline and September 23 fund opening; the approval policy is unchanged.
D/S disapproval resolution placed on the Senate calendar
On September 17, S.J.Res.213 was discharged from the Senate Judiciary Committee by petition and placed on the Senate calendar under General Orders (Calendar No. 668); the House companion is H.J.Res.215.
BeforeThe D/S entry recorded only the September 14 introduction of a CRA resolution; the text left the number blank and later steps were unverified.
AfterAdded both resolution numbers, a September 17 Senate-calendar milestone, GovInfo sources and a 30-day briefing item. Placement on the calendar is not a vote or passage; the nationwide court stay is tracked separately, and the docket mirror still ends at entry 52.
Later the same day, the GovInfo published text (91 FR 60501–60503) was read and compared with the White House text; they match apart from formatting, page markers and the signature line.
BeforeThe previous log item took the number and publication details from Federal Register listings in search results, without a word-for-word comparison.
AfterThe entry’s review note now reflects the checked published text, and the source and milestone add the 91 FR pages. The order’s content, status and the October 18 deadline are unchanged. The previous log item is kept as written for comparison.
Two public campus notices were added, and the UC Irvine page is now a standing policy page with a new thesis/dissertation CPT pathway. These are additions of existing notices and a page change, not new rules issued today.
Before49 evidence entries: 45 public university pages and 4 community reports; 48 distinct institutions. UT Dallas, UC Irvine and Washington State kept September 17 review dates because their pages could not be read.
After51 evidence entries: 47 public university pages and 4 community reports; 50 distinct institutions. Those three pages were read directly again and their dates updated; 8 university pages refused access during this check, so their September 22 dates are retained and noted in each entry.
The Federal Register published the September 18 H-1B layoff-review order on September 23 as EO 14431 (FR Doc. 2026-19555).
BeforeThe document ID read “September 18, 2026 executive order · Number pending verification”; sources were the White House text and a forum discussion.
AfterThe document ID now reads “Executive Order 14431”, with a September 23 Federal Register milestone and source. The order’s content, status and the October 18 deadline to begin the LCA review are unchanged.
The number and publication details come from Federal Register listings in search results; the full Federal Register text could not be opened directly in this check and was not compared word for word. The entry’s review note discloses this gap.

Added #12 H-1B layoff-review and interagency-coordination executive order
The President signed the order September 18, directing coordinated H-1B review that considers relevant layoffs and the start of a prior-LCA data review within 30 days.
BeforeThe site contained 11 policies and did not separately track the September 18, 2026 H-1B program-integrity executive order.
AfterAdded #12 h1b-program-integrity, bringing the site to 12 policies. The order is signed, with agency implementation to be tracked; the order itself has no NPRM or public-comment stage.
The order requires consideration of relevant past-year or planned layoffs negatively affecting similarly situated U.S. workers, limited by three conditions — the employer filing the case, comparable roles cut and timing; it does not mandate automatic visa denial after layoffs.
October 18, calculated as 30 calendar days after signature, is the deadline for DOL to begin reviewing prior LCA data, not to finish or a separately announced effective date.
The #02 $103,265 surcharge is a separate DHS document, tracked apart from this order.
Added #11 PERM labor certification reform to the H-1B path
DOL’s RIN 1205-AC29 entered OIRA review on September 14, covering recruitment, layoff protections and employer compliance. It is not in effect.
BeforeThe H-1B path did not separately track RIN 1205-AC29; the site contained 10 policies.
AfterAdded #11 perm-modernization, bringing the site to 11 policies. It is under OIRA prepublication review; detailed provisions, comment deadline and effective date remain unconfirmed.
The agenda’s July 2026 entry was an original NPRM target, not a publication or effective date. This action is tracked separately from the #06 wage-level proposal, RIN 1205-AC30.
PERM entry: clearer Chinese copy and five practitioner expectations
Rewrote the #11 Chinese copy in plainer language and added five expected recruitment changes, plus the August 4 Justice Department settlement that already reflects several of them.
BeforeThe entry said only that recruitment and recordkeeping requirements might tighten, without listing possible channel changes or the DOJ settlement.
AfterAdded “five changes practitioners expect”: dropping the mandatory newspaper ad, moving to modern channels and cutting radio and television, ending mailed-resume requirements, posting roles on the company careers page, and accepting applications through the ATS. The page labels all five as expectations, not published terms.
On August 4, 2026, the Justice Department reached a $3.2 million PERM discrimination settlement with OpenAI requiring it to post roles on its public careers site and accept electronic applications; DOJ also found that paper-mail-only applications and late-night radio ads discouraged U.S. workers. That matches several of the expected directions.
The rule remains in OIRA prepublication review; none of the five expectations is in effect, and the NPRM text will control.
UT Dallas moves from “process unchanged” to catalog-required internship courses only
ISSO published a new notice on September 17 that supersedes its August 25 “no changes” post. Under SEVP’s elective-course clarification, only students whose degree catalog lists an internship course requirement can be approved for CPT, with no case-by-case exceptions.
BeforeThe entry read “process unchanged as of August 25” and retained September 14 as its last successful review date.
AfterChanged to “from September 17, only catalog-required internship courses are approved.” Students without that catalog requirement cannot be approved; graduate students who must complete research off campus for a thesis or dissertation may use Academic CPT.
This audit also updated the UC Irvine entry from “Course Credit CPT paused since August 17” to the newer September 14 three-condition test shown at the top of the page: a degree requirement, required of all students in the program, and a cooperative agreement between the school and the employer.
Add CPT notices from Bryn Mawr, Buffalo and Michigan–Dearborn
Bryn Mawr announced a new optional-CPT pause on September 15; add Buffalo’s degree-required exception and Dearborn’s two eligible MS programs.
Before37 public university entries and 5 community entries: 42 records covering 41 distinct institutions/campuses.
After40 public university entries and 5 community entries: 45 records covering 44 distinct institutions/campuses. The two Purdue office/department records still count as one institution.
Bryn Mawr does not announce revocation of existing approvals. Buffalo and Dearborn allow existing Fall 2026 authorizations to continue. Dearborn lists only Applied Behavior Analysis and Clinical Health Psychology MS programs; this cannot be generalized to Ann Arbor.
Berkeley explicitly separates CPT guidance from the D/S rule: the D/S stay does not automatically restore optional CPT.
Court stays the D/S final rule nationwide; September 15 effective date postponed
At 4:55 p.m. ET, the court issued preliminary relief under APA § 705 postponing the entire rule nationwide and barring further implementation.
BeforeDecision pending after the September 3 hearing; September 15 scheduled effectiveness unless stayed.
AfterNationwide stay until further court order or a merits resolution; no permanent vacatur or replacement effective date. An in-person status conference is set for October 2 at noon in Courtroom 1, Boston.
Opinion 50, pp. 46–48, extends relief beyond plaintiff-member schools; order 51, paragraphs 2–5, sets the scope and duration.
Vacatur and summary judgment were denied without prejudice to renewal. The order does not automatically rescind separate CPT guidance.
Add UW follow-up requirements and WSU Spring 2027 full-time CPT restriction
UW’s September 8 notice dismisses pending non-required autumn CPT. Add WSU’s August 7 notice while distinguishing its university policy from the August SEVP guidance.
BeforeUW recorded only a pause on new requests; 36 public university entries plus 5 community entries, 41 entries covering 40 distinct schools.
AfterUW now specifies pending-request treatment and adviser attestation. Adding WSU yields 37 public entries plus 5 community entries, 42 entries covering 41 distinct schools.
WSU plans to restrict full-time academic-year CPT from Spring 2027, except curricular-required internships. It is not a current blanket pause, and the notice cautions about campus scope.
Substantive indexed official-page text was available; direct access and later implementation remain unverified. This is not presented as a new federal policy issued today.
Add Boston College and Johns Hopkins university CPT notices
BC pauses off-campus CPT not required of every student; JHU processes new and pending requests only for degree-required training consistent with SEVP memos.
Before34 public university evidence entries and 5 community entries: 39 entries across 38 distinct schools.
After36 public university evidence entries and 5 community entries: 41 entries across 40 distinct schools. Older JHU elective-course text does not establish reopening.

Comment statistics for four policies now describe policy direction
Re-reviewed the same 800 sampled records using the direction of related restrictions, without requiring explicit views on exact proposal provisions; 123 classifications changed.
BeforeProposal-specific counts (oppose / support / conditional or mixed / unclear): H-1B 110/49/11/30; grace period 150/30/12/8; wages 120/35/18/27; I-765 152/1/1/46.

Calls for tighter restrictions or visa abolition count as support for tightening; defending lawful work access counts as opposition.
Sample IDs, random seeds and sampling timestamps are unchanged; unreadable-body and attachment limitations remain disclosed per record.
Official correction added to H-1B surcharge proposal
The September 10 correction replaces Table 13 historical receipt figures. The $103,265 amount, cap-subject scope and September 24 comment deadline are unchanged; the proposal is not in effect.
Penn conditionally resumes CPT processing; add Georgetown guidance
Penn’s September 10 top notice resumes eligible requests; Georgetown’s September 9 update excludes elective internships.
BeforePenn was listed as pausing decisions on new and pending requests; 37 entries (32 public, 5 community) covered 36 institutions or separate campuses.
AfterPenn now conditionally resumes processing under current curricular requirements, with a caveat about older pause text on the same page. Adding Georgetown brings the list to 38 entries (33 public, 5 community), covering 37 institutions or separate campuses.
Penn requires departmental confirmation, an employer cooperative agreement and an authorized I-20; this is not unrestricted reopening.
Georgetown contacted pending applicants and fall-authorized students about impacts and options, without guaranteeing all existing authorizations are unaffected.
60-day grace-period proposal enters public inspection
Policy 8: the NPRM preview specifies eight worker classifications and their dependents; it is not in effect.
BeforeOIRA review complete; public proposal and publication date pending.
AfterPreview released September 10, scheduled for publication September 11. It would remove the up-to-60-day discretionary period for E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1, TN and their dependents. Comments are due 60 days after publication. No final rule or effective date is set; people otherwise authorized to remain lawfully must be distinguished.
Add Penn’s approval pause and Northeastern COE master’s placement limit
Two records are added from public university pages. Penn’s notice is dated August 27 on a page updated August 31. The NEU provision has no stated publication date; the date of inclusion is not a new-policy announcement date.
Before35 entries: 30 public university sources and 5 community records, covering 34 distinct institutions or separate campuses. Penn and Northeastern were not listed.
After37 entries: 32 public university sources and 5 community records, covering 36 distinct institutions or separate campuses. Penn pauses decisions on new and pending requests; Northeastern COE master’s students are limited to one co-op/internship, up to eight months.
Penn’s existing CPT authorizations are unaffected by this pause, which is neither permanent elimination nor denial of all pending requests.
The NEU entry covers COE master’s students only. It neither establishes a university-wide rule nor confirms a blanket PhD suspension.
The Dashew Center published a September 8 notice clarifying research cases, existing authorizations, and cooperative agreements. This upgrades an existing entry; it does not add a school.
BeforeUCLA relied on an email screenshot describing a pause on non-degree-required course-credit and support-letter CPT. The 35 entries comprised 29 public university sources and 6 community records.
AfterUCLA now has a public source: non-degree-required course-credit and support-letter CPT is suspended; degree-required CPT continues. The 35 entries now comprise 30 public university sources and 5 community records, still covering 34 distinct institutions or separate campuses.
Dissertation, thesis, research, or capstone training must be a program-wide requirement listed in the UCLA General Catalog.
CPT approved with an I-20 issued before August 12 is unaffected. All CPT applications require a department-employer cooperative agreement.
Northwestern clarifies it cannot approve CPT that is not required for every student
The September 3 notice linked from the university CPT page states that this restriction continues unless SEVP guidance changes. The audit date is not the announcement date.
BeforeCPT not required for every student was on hold during the university review.
AfterNorthwestern cannot approve experiential learning that is not required for every student unless SEVP guidance changes; OISS is working with programs to determine eligibility.
Add George Mason’s public CPT notice; evidence entries increase to 35
The newly collected OIPS notice pauses Fall 2026 CPT processing when students cannot prove that training is required for everyone in the degree program to graduate. The section has no publication date; the collection date is not the announcement date.
Before34 evidence entries: 28 public university webpages and 6 community records, covering 33 distinct institutions or separate campuses. George Mason was not listed.
After35 evidence entries: 29 public university webpages and 6 community records, covering 34 distinct institutions or separate campuses. George Mason is added with Fall 2026 CPT processing paused without proof of a program-wide graduation requirement.
An elective internship or one of several optional ways to satisfy a degree requirement does not qualify under the stated standard. The notice does not address existing authorizations.
Purdue ECE and university-level ISS count as one institution; UMD College Park and UMBC remain separate campuses.
Restore the thesis-research consultation caveat in Purdue ECE’s summary
The email’s final paragraph directs students to consult ISS about work needed for thesis research, a qualification omitted from the previous summary. This remains department-email screenshot evidence, without an upgrade to public-webpage confirmation or a guarantee of research CPT approval.
BeforeA department email screenshot says it will not sign CPT this semester; this is an ECE position and should not be generalized to the entire university.
AfterA department email screenshot says non-required internship/co-op CPT will not be approved this semester; students should separately consult ISS about work needed for thesis research. This statement covers ECE only.
#03 Explain the OPT obstacle after a PhD exit and the boundary on another degree
The earlier example did not explain how the rule affects OPT after a master’s exit and omitted the completion-date boundary for same/lower-level study. The final rule and Rice guidance clarify both.
BeforeAfter a PhD exit with a master’s, “check OPT eligibility”; completing a U.S. F-1 degree generally barred another same/lower-level program.
AfterThe rule prohibits graduate-level changes during study. Rice explains that a master’s can be awarded without changing doctoral SEVIS records, preventing OPT based on that master’s. Degrees completed before the effective date do not count toward the same/lower-level re-enrollment limit.
Page 2 of the August 12 broadcast corrects the September 1 log’s attribution of the all-student graduation requirement solely to August 24. August 12 already stated that standard; the August 24 Q&A elaborated on elective courses, American students, and cooperative agreements. The earlier log is retained for comparison.
BeforeAugust 12 was described only as a compliance reminder; the narrower integral standard and university responses were dated from August 24.
AfterAugust 12 already required CPT to be indispensable to obtaining the degree and required for all students pursuing it. August 24 elaborated on the standard; the school-response timeline now starts after August 12.

Docket entry 47 confirms that the September 3 injunction hearing was held. After hearing arguments, the court took the matter under advisement. This means the judge did not rule from the bench and will continue considering the request, potentially through a later written order; the injunction has been neither granted nor denied.
BeforeThe preliminary-injunction hearing was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on September 3; the court had not ruled.

September 15 remains the scheduled effective date unless the court first issues a stay or injunction.
On September 2, the government filed an assented motion for leave to exceed the page limit and attached its proposed opposition as Exhibit A. The proposed brief asks the court to deny APA § 705 relief, a preliminary injunction, and summary judgment before the administrative record is filed, and argues that any relief should be limited to the plaintiffs. The 57-page document supplied by the user is not a court ruling; the filing itself did not change the September 3 hearing or the scheduled September 15 effective date.
BeforeThe government response was due September 2; the injunction request was awaiting that response.

Trine University’s graduate CPT page still lists 2026–27 application deadlines and says applications remain open and are reviewed in the order received. Because it does not separately address the August 24 guidance, the entry does not treat the page as proof that every CPT category is unaffected.
The university CPT page now states the narrow thesis and dissertation criteria explicitly: only thesis-track master’s or doctoral students who have Advanced to Candidacy may apply, and the practical training must be necessary to complete the thesis or dissertation, not reasonably replaceable by another research or data-collection method, and documented by the faculty adviser. Course Credit CPT remains paused.
