Campus map
In 1992, the Washington State Legislature passed a law that granted high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take college-level classes at community colleges to fulfill high school diploma requirements while also earning college credits. Participants in Running Start can only take courses numbered 100 or higher (college-level) and must have qualifying scores on the writing, reading and college algebra COMPASS tests prior to enrolling. A sample Running Start test is available for your use.
In addition to following the application and test instructions, private or home-schooled students are required to contact their local public high school to access the Running Start program. Admission to the program must be coordinated through a local, state-funded high school.
