employers may wish to provide them. Students are eligible for Workers Compensation benefits if injured on the job site. Students are
not eligible for Unemployment Compensation benefits when an Internship is completed or terminated.
Employers are not required to withhold or pay Social Security or Medicare taxes for international students on CPT assignments.
However, students should note that wages are subject to federal and, where applicable, to state and local income taxes.

Internships. Students are expected to work from the recommended beginning date through the recommended ending date of the
published Internship calendar. Students may not request a change in the calendar from their employer without the permission of the
Jonsson School IPP staff. Please contact IPP coordinators or view the current IPP Calendar on IPP Website.
