Application and Enrollment Procedures

Now Enrolling for Spring 2012 Classes and Distance Learning

We are now enrolling for our Distance Learning and Spring 2012 Classroom Programs. 

Classroom courses fill on a first-come first-served basis. You must first apply and be accepted in order to enroll. Early application and enrollment is the only way to guarantee a space in the course, section, and location of your choice.

Schedules for the Bauman College Spring 2012 programs are posted on the individual program pages and through the Schedules link under the Prospective Students tab.

Use of a computer is required to participate in all Bauman College vocational programs.  Please review our Technical FAQs before applying.


The following will give you a general idea of the enrollment process.

1) Timely Application
Students must submit a complete application for consideration into a Bauman College vocational training program.  To apply to the Nutrition Consultant and Natural Chef training programs, please download the Bauman College Application Packet.  You must submit all required materials requested in the application packet in order to be considered for the programs.  

Apply for classroom courses by February 6, 2012 so your application can be processed in time to avoid a Late Enrollment Fee of $75. We do our best after this deadline to turn over your application so that you can enroll before the Late Enrollment Fee kicks in.

2) Submitting Your Application Materials
Please mail your application to:
Bauman College Admissions
PO Box 940
Penngrove, CA 94951

Note: Bauman College will not process faxed or incomplete applications.

3) Acceptance
Accepted students will receive an e-mail detailing the enrollment procedure within 2 weeks of submitting a complete application.

4) Enrollment and Late Enrollment
To complete enrollment students must mail their enrollment packet and payment to the Penngrove Bauman College location for processing.

All enrollments after February 21, 2012 will incur a $75.00 Late Enrollment Fee. Apply and enroll early to avoid this fee, and to guarantee a space in the class.

5) Class Begins
Classroom students should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early for the first class in order to get settled in the classroom. Distance Learning students will have a Welcome Call with the Distance Learning Administrator for orientation to the program.

6) Textbooks and Materials
Students must purchase most of their textbooks and materials independently. Please refer to the Materials Lists provided below, which detail all required textbooks and materials. Classroom students will receive their Bauman College provided materials on the first day of class. Distance Learning students will receive their Bauman College provided materials via UPS upon enrollment.

Other textbooks and materials must be purchased independently. The cost of materials varies considerably depending on where they are purchased. The Bauman College Online Book Store carries all required books available new and used at a discount, with free shipping on orders over $25.00.

Students should have required textbooks on the first day of class.
