Students from outside UWyo are asked to send a completed application (non-UW student application).

To apply, non-UW students must have achieved a B or higher in Structural Geology, Sed/Strat, and Mineralogy.

Applications must include a paragraph detailing geologic interests as well as a letter of recommendation from a faculty member of their department.

Applicants notified of acceptance must submit a non-refundable pre-payment of $100 to hold a seat in the class. Course enrollment will be limited to approximately 24 students to maintain a favorable student-to-staff ratio (minimum 8:1).

Please note: All communication regarding registration, travel and grades will be with the student only. At all times students must behave in a mature, responsible manner and must abide by all course rules. If these conditions are not acceptable to you, do not apply to this field camp.
