What is Running Start? Running Start is a Washington State program that allows high school students to earn credits toward both high school AND college at a local community college. Students must be juniors or seniors, and must meet all entrance requirements (placement test or alternative) as outlined by the college.
Running Start students are still Redmond High School students. They can choose to take a full-time or part-time course load at Running Start. Full-time Running Start students take all their classes at the community college. Part-time students arrange a schedule to attend some classes at RHS, and others at a community college. Running Start students may still participate in activities at the high school.
Running Start students enroll in community college classes and are treated like any other community college student.
Running Start students and their families do not pay tuition, but they do pay college fees and buy their own books, as well as provide their own transportation.
![Page 3: Running Start Info Session 3.6 - Lake Washington School ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020915/619f596f26d96405c404fadb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How Do I Enroll in Running Start? The process will vary slightly at each college, but will generally include:
1. Student fills out a Running Start application online directly with the community college.
2. Student completes math and English placement with the community college.
3. Student meets with RHS counselor to choose courses that align with grad plan and signs Enrollment Verification Form. These meetings will begin in May (due to updates to the Enrollment Verification Form for next year).
4. Student submits the Enrollment Verification Form to the college, attends an orientation meeting, and registers for classes.
Colleges list the specific steps for Running Start enrollment on their websites.

How is Running Start different
at CWU?
• 1-on-1 advising with a RS Advisor
• Courses are offered on a university campus instead of a community college campus.
• Students must meet university admission requirements to participate.
• Students work on general education (first two years of a bachelor’s degree) and prerequisites for majors rather than working toward an associate degree.
![Page 27: Running Start Info Session 3.6 - Lake Washington School ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020915/619f596f26d96405c404fadb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Which classes can
RS students take?
• Running Start students are treated like
other students at CWU.
• They can take whichever courses they meet
the pre-requisites for.
• Most students will be taking 100 & 200
level courses that would be open to other
college freshmen and sophomores.
• Students will have individual advising and
create a personal education plan.
![Page 28: Running Start Info Session 3.6 - Lake Washington School ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020915/619f596f26d96405c404fadb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
More about classes…
• Running Start students need to prioritize
high school graduation requirements:
1. High school graduation requirements
2. General education courses
3. Pre-major courses
• Credits do transfer to other institutions,
but you need to confirm with that
institution that the credits will transfer
the way you intend.
![Page 29: Running Start Info Session 3.6 - Lake Washington School ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020915/619f596f26d96405c404fadb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Transferring Credits
• Credits taken through Central Washington University will transfer to other schools the same way credits taken at community colleges will transfer.
• Credits transfer to all public colleges & universities in Washington State.
• Credits will transfer to most private universities and public universities out of state.
• RS Advisors will work with you individually to develop an education plan based on your long term academic goals to help ensure that your credits will transfer in the most efficient manner.
