Hi Julia! Is an international student on a student visa doing a post-completion opt eligible to participate in the jam? Bit of a mouthful, sorry about that LOL

Hi Connor! I’m not completely informed on what a post-completion OPT is (just Googled it, haha) — are you currently enrolled as a student/taking classes at your university? 

Ah my bad, I'm asking for a potential teammate!

They're a recent graduate from NYU, but since they're here on a student visa, the opt is employment through NYU so they can stay in the states. Sorry for the confusion!

Here's a link to the opt program at NYU: https://www.nyu.edu/students/student-information-and-resources/student-visa-and-...

I see, thanks for the clarification -- unfortunately, since they're a graduate, they wouldn't be eligible to win the prizing listed. :( Your friend is welcome to join the Discord community, attend workshops or even submit a game, but the jam does require that all teammates be currently enrolled in a degree program in order to win prizes. Let me know if I can assist further!

Imma edit my old response out, since after re-reading your post it makes perfect sense. It's a bummer, but I totally understand. Thanks for helping me out with my questions Julia! I appreciate it :D
