西崖大学每年共3 个学期，每学期4个月且由2个Session组成。西崖大学课程采用 hybrid 形式，F1 Visa每学期至少要求修6个学分= 2 门课（每门课 3 个学分），需要CPT仍需要修CPT课程且CPT 额外算1个学分。
学校可以在开学第一天批准CPT工作许可，每学期结束前学校会发邮件提醒renew CPT。CPT在学期间是完全连续的，所以每年可以用CPT工作365天。OPT快过期的同学可以选一个过期前最近的开学日期入学，入学前用OPT工作，入学后用CPT工作，除了转SEVIS的2-3天会有gap外可以无缝衔接。
DBA项目：毕业后可以申请三年OPT Extension。要注意的是，如果想申请OPT，那么full-time CPT则不能超过1年，可以采用11 个半月的full-time CPT + 半个月part-time CPT 工作或休假的模式，毕业后就可以继续申请3 年的 STEM OPT，相当于多了4年抽签和工作的机会！
每一学年（连续完成3个学期课程）可申请放假一学期，写毕业论文的时候也可以申请延期。
