How it Works
Choose from day, evening or online college classes. Once you complete a course satisfactorily, you receive college credit, which is transferable to most colleges and universities. Credits may also apply to high school graduation, according to your school district policies.

College isn't easy. You'll need to study hard, but about 300 local high school students participate in Running Start every year. If they can do it, so can you!

Talk it over with your parents or guardian because you will need their permission before you get started.
