Running Start
Running Start is a program that gives eligible high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to take college-level classes and earn high school and college credit tuition free. Students can enroll part-time or full-time at the college. They can take courses numbered 100 and above and up to 18 credits each quarter. Most courses are 5 credits and a full-time credit load is 15 credits. The Running Start program is available during the fall, winter and spring quarters only (not available during the summer).
Running Start may be right for you if you:
- work independently,
- take initiative,
- have good study skills,
- possess a high level of self-discipline and
- are able to complete a variety of assignments with little directions from their instructors.
