Internships, Cooperative Education and other Experiential Education Programs
In today's highly competitive job market, employers hire candidates who possess not only a college degree, but also career-related experience. In a recent survey conducted by Grand Valley Career Services, 99 percent of employers agreed that most students would benefit from such experience.
The best way to gain the experience employers are looking for is to complete one or more internships. In addition to the possibility of earning college credit, other educational benefits of internships/co-ops include learning new skills, and applying theory to the world of work. Career development benefits include exploring career options, developing realistic career goals and expectations, and building relationships with professionals. Employment advantages include gaining career-related experience, supplementing (or compensating for) grades, and receiving possible employment offers or recommendations for future employment.
Academic Requirements and Credits. Each academic department determines the academic requirements for internships and cooperative education experiences. Unless an academic department requires completion of an internship, it is up to the student to decide whether or not they wish to pursue receiving credit for their internship experience (occasionally, employers require interns to receive college credit for their experience). Students seeking credit are typically required to have completed 60 academic credits before signing up for internships or cooperative education experiences. Work hours normally equate to 150 hours (three and a third hours per week per credit for a 15-week term) for three academic credits. A maximum of 15 internship/cooperative education credits may be applied toward graduation. The nature of the academic component of an internship/cooperative education experience is defined by the academic department. A student may not use a single work experience to generate both internship/cooperative education credit and other forms of credit, e.g., independent study credit.
Cooperative Education. A work-training program specified in engineering. Co-op is a specific type of work training experience in which students have at least two full-time or part-time supervised paid work experiences related to their major, each lasting at least one semester. The co-op program is specifically designated as such by the academic department.
Criteria. Internships and co-ops may be initiated by the faculty advisor, the employer, the student, or the Career Services Office. When seeking credit for the experience, a faculty advisor within each academic department is responsible for final approval of internships and co-ops to ensure that the experience meets specific departmental criteria. Students are required to comply with academic departmental GPA requirements regarding internships or co-ops. The work setting must provide an opportunity for learning that is relevant to the intern's academic field. The employer provides a field supervisor and the academic department provides a faculty member to direct the experience. Field supervisors evaluate the student's work experience; and students must complete all departmental requirements for the experience, including final reports. The length of the internship/co-op is determined prior to the beginning of the internship by the employer, the faculty advisor, and the student. An internship/cooperative education experience can be terminated prior to completion by the faculty advisor, field supervisor, or student. However, permission for course withdrawal is vested exclusively in the faculty.
Internships. A supervised work experience directly related to an academic discipline taking place outside of the classroom, and directed by a field supervisor and a Grand Valley faculty member. The internship may be full-or part-time and may or may not be a paid work experience. An internship typically lasts for one semester. A student may enroll for a maximum of 15 credits of internship. The internship must be planned and approved by the academic department the semester prior to when the experience will take place. Internships are available in most Grand Valley majors.

The objective of these programs is to provide first-year students with a positive transition to campus, and to successfully retain and graduate students. The cohorts also serve as community learning centers where students who pursue similar educational interests can connect, interact, and share their educational experiences. Members of the cohorts also benefit from the one-on-one working working relationship with the program coordinators.

Housing and Residence Life and Campus Dining
Although Grand Valley does not require on-campus residency for any classification of student, the university does consider residential living to be particularly beneficial in helping all students become oriented and adjusted to college life. A university staff member living in each living center, along with student Resident Assistants/Apartment Living Assistants and Multicultural Assistants, arranges educational, diversity, and recreational programs that serve to foster and maintain pleasant living and study conditions. Two students are assigned to a room and, whenever possible, students are allowed to choose their roommates. The traditional living centers accommodate approximately 900 freshman students. Suite-style living centers accommodate 1,000 students. The centers are divided into suites consisting of two double rooms (for four students) and a shared bathroom. Apartment-style living centers provide two students with bedrooms, a private bathroom, and a small kitchen. There are approximately 1,000 apartment-style living center beds.
Room and board may be paid in full at the beginning of each semester or, for a service charge, in installments. All room-and-board rates are subject to change by action of the Board of Trustees.
Admission to Grand Valley does not guarantee housing of any kind, and students must make their own arrangements by contacting the Office of Housing and Residence Life. This should be done immediately upon acceptance for admission, living centers are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Approximately 3,000 spaces in the living centers are reserved for freshmen; the remaining spaces are available for upperclass students. All rooms are smoke free.
Dining
The living centers provide accommodations and meals for approximately 3,000 students. Three room-and-board plans are available: a 7-meal plan, a 14-meal plan, and a 21-meal plan. Meals are served in the Fresh Food Company, Kleiner Commons, Einstein Bagel, Papa John's, and River Landing at the Kirkhof Center, depending on the plan selected. At each meal the traditional dining service in the Fresh Food Company provides several entrees, including a vegetarian entree, from which students may choose. Students may eat all they want and are allowed to return as often as they want to the various serving tables. A food court, featuring Taco Bell Express, Subway Express, and Pizza Hut, is located on the lower level of the Commons. In the Kleiner Commons, there is a marketplace, coffee shop, and convenience store for student dining. Students can use their dining cards at the Kleiner convenience store, River Landing and at Java City located in the Kirkhof Center.
Apartments
The apartment complexes on the Allendale campus provide housing for students who have completed at least one full year of living on campus or have earned a minimum of 30 semester hours. There are four-bedroom, two-bedroom, one-bedroom, and efficiency apartments. A university staff member living in the complex, along with Apartment Living Assistants and Multicultural Assistants, arranges educational, diversity, and recreational programs that foster pleasant living and study conditions.
The apartments are arranged in three village-style clusters, each around a community building. Each apartment has a stove and refrigerator, beds, dresser, desks, chairs, and a sofa. Students provide other furnishings to suit their tastes. All apartments are smoke free. Rent may be paid in full at the beginning of the semester or, for a service charge, spread out in four installments.
In addition, students can choose the apartments located on the Robert C. Pew Campus in Grand Rapids. One-, two-, three-, four-bedroom, and efficiency units are available. Units are semi-furnished, with a couch and chair provided.
Students must make their own arrangements for the apartments. Because the units resemble privately developed apartments in every way, yet are conveniently located right on campus, they are very much in demand and students are advised to make application for rental well in advance. Applications and contract information may be obtained from the Office of Housing and Residence Life located at 103 Student Services Building, telephone (616) 331-2120.
Other Housing
Other living accommodations near the campus-including rooms, apartments, houses, and mobile homes-are available at a wide variety of costs. Grand Valley does not involve itself in negotiations for off-campus rentals but does provide, solely as a service to students, a listing of available housing at www.gvsu.edu/housing. The university will not knowingly list substandard housing but it does not inspect the units available, and students are advised to exercise normal caution in making rental agreements.
Housing Application Process
New students who want to live on campus should apply to the Office of Housing and Residence Life immediately upon acceptance for admission. Spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Summer session housing applications are accepted at any time. A $150 deposit (subject to change) must accompany the contract materials. The deposit is a reservation/security deposit and must be paid before the beginning of each academic year. The deposit is also required for the summer session. All first-year students are encouraged to apply before March 1 for the fall semester in which they plan to attend.
Living center and apartment contracts are for the entire academic year. Apartment residents may request a 12-month contract. Students who must move in order to take part in Grand Valley sponsored or approved off-campus academic programs (such as field work or study abroad) will be allowed to break the contract with a refund of their deposit, providing required written notice is given in accordance with published deadlines.
Financial aid awarded for housing will be refunded to the sponsor, not to the student. Further information on the housing application and refund policy is contained in the housing contracts.
