The date for beginning Optional Practical Training (OPT) is determined by the date when Requirements for the degree program have been met. This is called the date of Completion; it is not necessarily the date of graduation. The completion date for graduate students is the date the thesis/dissertation is successfully defended. The completion date for undergraduate students is the last day of the semester in which they complete all course requirements.
