Lawrence is pausing CPT authorization for F-1 students beginning Sept. 14, 2026. We understand this change may be disappointing or disruptive, especially for students planning internships or other off-campus experiences. If you have questions about how this affects you, please contact International Student Services (ISS) to discuss your individual situation and available options.

Friendship Family Program

The Friendship Family Program is designed to supplement international students' Lawrence experience by getting them off campus and into the community. It's also an informal way to experience typical American family life, culture, and traditions. Learn more about the Friendship Family Program.
