Dear Prospective Student,

Thank you for your interest in the Baja California Field Studies Program.  You are about to embark on one of the most unique college-level academic field experiences.

Following is the application package, which you must complete in order to participate in our program. Please make sure to complete all pages (if handwritten, please write legibly). This application is also available online as a fillable pdf.

When submitting your application, you must include a non-refundable $100.00 application deposit (make checks payable to: Glendale Community College).  This fee will be deducted from the listed cost of the session (courses) that you are planning to attend.  You can drop off the application at our office in SR 133 or turn it in directly to one of the Academic Co-Directors of the Baja Program (Dr. Javier Gago, SG214 or Dr. Maria Kretzmann, SG211).  In addition, you can send your application as a pdf document to baja@glendale.edu. If you prefer, you can mail the completed package and payment to:

Baja California Field Studies Program
Glendale Community College
1500 N Verdugo Rd.
Glendale, CA 91208-2894

Once the application is received, you will have to arrange a short interview with one of the Academic Co-Directors of the Baja Program (Dr. Javier Gago fgago@glendale.edu or Dr. Maria Kretzmann mkretzma@glendale.edu), so we can meet you and clarify any questions you may have.

Students with or in need of disability accommodations are responsible for making arrangements through Disabled Student Programs & Services (DSPS) in a timely manner.  Before submitting a Baja Program application, please be sure to discuss your accommodation needs and intent to participate with your DSPS Counselor or Specialist.  Given the remote nature of the Baja Field Station and the physical rigors of the program, an approval letter or clearance from a healthcare provider may be requested.

Please let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help. You can contact us at:
Baja Office baja@glendale.edu; (818) 240-1000 x3159
Dr. Javier Gago fgago@glendale.edu, (818) 240-1000 x5369
Dr. Maria Kretzmann mkretzma@glendale.edu; (818) 240-1000 x5363

Sincerely,
The staff of the Baja California Field Studies Program
