Academic training is training related to a student's field of study. Appropriate activities vary over disciplines. Academic training may involve sequential or simultaneous activities, either paid or unpaid, with several employers, provided the application and approval procedures are followed for each employer and activity, and the time limits are not exceeded.
In addition to specific limits on the duration of academic training, a general condition for academic training is that the student must be primarily in the United States to study rather than engage in academic training.
