Day 1 CPT Universities

Hey everyone,

Trine University often comes up in Day 1 CPT conversations — especially among tech and business professionals looking for a hybrid program. But lately, it’s been surrounded by some mixed reviews and controversy.

:cyclone: We’ve heard about:

  • Strict in-person attendance policies that caught some students off guard
  • Delays in processing documents, including I-20s and CPT authorization
  • Some reporting a lack of responsiveness from admin or DSO teams

That said, others seem to have gotten through the program just fine. So let’s get a clearer picture:

:loudspeaker: If you’re currently enrolled or a recent grad:

  • How was your application and onboarding experience?
  • Did the on-site schedule interfere with your work?
  • Any issues with maintaining SEVIS compliance?
  • Was the coursework helpful or mostly just administrative?

Let’s hear both sides — the good, the frustrating, and everything in between. It could really help those still weighing their options!
