I recently got an internship in a small  accounting firm.  I have some reservation for CPT. Although I just need 40hrs to earn 3 credits toward my education, my employer asked me to join as a full-time intern. So, when I  fill an application at internatioanal office as well as internship co-ordiantor office what should I mention about working more than 40hrs. Does it matter in  an international office, if I work more than what I need for earning credits.  What should I do? Accept the full-time offer or just be a part-time intern? Please help. I am more concerned about the international office because my international advisor really sucks!! help me!!

Full-time means 40 hours or more. So you can work more than 40 hours under your CPT when classes are not in session. While classes are in session, you can only work upto 20 hours. Hope this helps.
