How Running Start Works

The credits you earn at Highline can, with careful planning, apply to your high school graduation and college degree or certificate.

Your college tuition (up to 18 college-level credits per quarter) are covered through Running Start.  Books and applicable fees are your responsibility.

Running Start is available fall, winter and spring quarters.   If you want to attend summer quarter, you will need to apply to our Enhancement program and pay tuition and applicable fees.

Highline follows federal guidelines under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which means that only students have access to their college grades and records. Release of Information forms are available at the Registration counter.

Five college credits are equivalent to one high school credit.

The grades and credits earned through Running Start at Highline Community College are part of your permanent college and high school transcripts.

Your high school calendar and breaks will not always match with the Highline's academic calendar.
