Questions about CPT and pre-OPT

Hi guys,

So I am currently doing a co-op for a company on CPT and I was reading about the regulations of the CPT and found out that if you do more that 12 months of CPT you lose your OPT. My question is whether this is 12 months accumulated over your college career or 12 months all in one time?
I forgot to mention I am an undergrad studying on an F1 visa and I´m just trying to get as much work experience before I graduate as possible. So my other question is whether it is possible to use per-OPT for an internship for the semester before I graduate?

Thank you in advance for your help!
 
Time period of one month is accumulated over your course study. You can work for 11 months and 25 day after which you can apply for opt
