Yes, students are required to live in campus housing, either in Atlantic City or Galloway Housing as part of this program.

Students admitted to the program do not need to complete a separate summer housing application. The summer housing contract will act as the housing application which eligible student’s sign when applying to the Live-Work-Learn program.

Yes, students may request a roommate; however, these requests are not guaranteed. Please complete the Summer Housing Preference Form. This form will ask you to confirm your session dates for the summer, confirm your housing style preferences, and provide a section to request roommates. If requesting a roommate, please be sure to connect with them prior to completing the form to ensure they have applied for summer housing or have an active 12-Month Contract.

Students who are commuter students in Fall 2025 must move out by August 10th 2025 at 12:00 noon or be subject to fines.  All other students who are registered for campus housing in Fall 2025 may remain in their summer housing location until their fall housing is ready for move-in.  

There are no meal plans offered during the summer term. However, students can take advantage of the Osprey Card program by adding “dining dollars” to your student ID. These funds can be unrestricted, so that you can make purchases at on campus and off campus businesses that participate in the program.

We encourage students to ask their employers any questions related to their job.

Students are responsible for gaining employment as a part of this program. Students are responsible for all steps of the hiring process that their prospective employer may require them to complete. The Live-Work-Learn program does not have a role in the hiring process with the employers. It is the responsibility of the student to gain and accept employment for the summer program. Employers will verify with Stockton which students have accepted summer jobs as a part of the Live-Work-Learn program.

Interviews will be offered at the Galloway and Atlantic City campuses. Not all the employers will participate in these on-campus recruitment events. More information about this event is coming soon.

Some positions with certain employers may require licensing and/or union affiliation. This would be indicated in the position description. Some employers may cover the costs associated with the licensing, such as a casino or gaming license. It is recommended that students ask the employer if they will cover any licensing costs.

The last day students may secure and accept a position with an employer for this program is April 20, 2025. Students who do not secure employment by April 20, 2025, are not eligible for the program.

Stockton will provide information on the positions offered by employers for the program. Program employers will be invited to participate in on-campus employment fairs held at the Galloway and Atlantic City campuses. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain employment.

Students must find their own transportation to go to work. No transportation is provided by Stockton University. Students will be encouraged to use city public transportation or utilize the bike share program located in the AC residential complex.

Students taking vacations must get this approved by their employer at least three weeks ahead of time or whatever the employer’s policy states. If the vacation does not affect the student’s employment, their participation in the asynchronous course, or their ability to attend the mandatory program orientation, it would not affect their status in the program. Students are also encouraged to inform employers of any pre-planned vacation, PRIOR to accepting any position, to ensure here is no conflict with the employer’s expectations of your summer work schedule.

Unless the employer offers to cover your housing charges prior to your official start of work, students will be responsible for their housing charges at the standard summer rate ($30 / day) until the day they begin working for their employer.

The employer and position you accept as a part of the Live-Work-Learn program is the employer you must keep in order to remain in the program. If there are extenuating circumstances, which prohibit your ability to remain working in that position, we advise you to contact your employer’s HR department and see if you may request a transfer. Please keep in mind that this is not guaranteed and is subject to the employer’s policies and procedures.

Students who are no longer working for their summer employer are no longer eligible to participate in the Live-Work-Learn program. If the student chooses to remain in Stockton’s housing, the student will be responsible for all housing charges at the standard summer rate starting the day they are released from employment. The student will also no longer be enrolled in the course and ineligible to earn credits or badges.

Students accepted into the program are required to select and successfully complete three of the six workshops.  The workshops are free and students will earn digital badges.  All students, whether new to the program or returning students are required to complete three workshops.

Once a student's job is confirmed by the employer, the student will be provided access to the workshops.  The workshops must be completed by June 1st, 2025.

Failure to complete three workshops within the allotted date/time will make the student ineligible to continue in the program.

For more information about the learning component, please view the Learn box above on this page.

A badge is a micro-credential that highlights a skill you learned in the Live, Work, Learn course. Badges are tied to specific skills assessments. Badges are awarded through a badging software that allows you to display your skills for employers to see either though a link on your resume or on social media. The employers will be able to see the skill, details on how it was assessed, and verify that you earned the badge. Badges are a great way to market your skills to future employers.

Each training module is approx. 1 hour in length.  Students will be provided access to begin completing the workshops after the employer has confirmed their summer employment.  The workshops are to be completed by June 1st, 2025.

Each workshop module will include assessment tools that will automatically grade as you complete them.  You must receive a passing grade on each of the assessment tools in order to successfully complete the workshops.  Students may repeat the workshop if needed in order to pass the assessment tools.  Badges are earned based on successful completion of particular skills assessments highlighted in each of the workshops.

Students must successfully complete at least three of the six workshops to meet the badging requirements.  Failure to complete the badging requirements by the deadline date of June 1st, 2025 will make students ineligible for the Live-Work-Learn program.  Ineligible students will be released from the program and responsible for their housing charges at the standard summer rate.
