Eligibility
To be admitted to Renton Technical College’s Running Start Program, a student
must:
-
Be registered as a Junior or Senior at a Washington public high school.
-
Be between 16 and 20 years of age.
-
Determine eligibility by completing the Asset/ Compass assessment test.
Home-schooled students and students attending private schools must be evaluated
as Juniors or Seniors by a public high school official, and enroll at that
school. It is not mandatory that they are attending classes at the public high
school. It is possible to have dual enrollment at both private and public high
school for access to the Running Start Program.
Graduation requirements are established by each high school, and
students must work closely with their high school counselor to ensure that all
requirements are met. It is important that students verify exactly what
high school credits will be earned before enrolling in a college
class/program. One five (5) credit class at the college earns one (1) high
school unit.
General Education Courses at Renton Technical
College are transferable to all other Washington State public colleges and
universities, according to the guidelines of the receiving
institution. Transfer to Washington State private colleges and out-of-state
colleges cannot be guaranteed. Students are encouraged to contact those
colleges for current transfer policies.
