Wilderness Field Station Application

Welcome to the application for the Wilderness Field Station! We look forward to seeing you at the station.

All questions must be answered to the best of your ability before your application is considered complete - you will need to complete the form all at once, so check over the list of required materials below before you get started.

Required materials for this form: personal information, including your social security number; academic information, including your class and GPA; emergency contact information; and contact information for two references. You will also have to write a few paragraphs about your interest in the WFS and your prior experience with camping and being outdoors.

You will need to complete the following additional requirements within two weeks for your application to be considered. You may have these forms submitted before your application as well:

1. Academic Advisor Recommendation: Direct your academic advisor to this form and have them complete and submit the form. 

2. College Transcript: Submit a copy of your transcript from your Registrar to fieldstation@coe.edu. This may be an unofficial transcript.

3. Affirmation from your Dean of Students or Office of Off-campus Study. Wilderness Field Station staff will contact your Dean of Students after you have applied to affirm your qualifications for off-campus study under strenuous conditions, and to affirm your good academic standing with your college. Be aware that this will happen and that your Dean's affirmation will be required.
