Special Studies | Running Start

The Running Start Program at the Seattle Community Colleges provides high school students who are at the 11th or 12th grade level, and whose test scores place them in college level course work, the opportunity to take college transfer and professional/technical courses for high school and college credit at the same time. Tuition is paid by the state through the sending public school. Students are responsible for consulting their high school counselor and the college Running Start counselor for placement testing, applying to Running Start and to the college, purchasing books, paying lab fees and providing their own transportation.

North Seattle Community College offers Online Virtual Running Start courses which allows students to take college courses from home, school library or workplace. For more information, visit: www.virtualcollege.org
