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 Spring 2023
The Lincoln Lynx Counseling Crew would like to share with the Lincoln Community our NEW Running Start process. This NEW process will allow our school to be more effective and efficient in delivering counseling supports holistically to our school.
One of the major changes we are bringing into the LHS new process is that we are requiring 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. The dates for these mandatory presentations are:
- Monday, April 17th at 3:45pm-4:45pm
- And Thursday, April 20th at 7:45am-8:45am.
Please plan to attend one of them if you are interested in Running Start. If students do not attend one of the presentations, they will not be allowed to register for Running Start.
During this meeting we will be sharing counselor expectations of students attending Running Start, required documents needed for fall registration at Running Start, and what students can expect of their counselors.
