Running Start
Running Start for Lincoln High School Students
Running Start is a program for High School Juniors and Seniors to take college classes at Washington two-year colleges and earn high school and college credit at the same time. Tuition is free for a maximum of 15 credits per quarter in college-level courses numbered 100 or higher. However, the number of college credits each student may take free of tuition costs depends on how many classes the student is concurrently taking at the high school.
- Students are responsible for tuition for pre-college courses (numbering below 100) and any credits that exceed their allowable limit.
- Students are responsible for the cost of books and transportation; however, fee waivers for these expenses (not including transportation) are available for students who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Running Start Info Sessions
The Lincoln Lynx Counseling Crew requires that current 10th and 11th graders interested in enrolling into Running Start next school year to attend 1 of the 2 MANDATORY presentations held at LHS during BASH. There is only one session remaining:
- Thursday, April 18 at 8am in Room 243 (Mr. Reed’s classroom)
IF you are unable to attend one of the presentations please check with your counselor to see what needs to happen so that you can enroll in Running Start for the Fall of 2024.
