STEP #3: COMPLETE PARENT GUARDIAN AGREEMENT
EDMONDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE RUNNING START PARENT/GUARDIAN AGREEMENT
Student Name: Student College ID Number:
Running Start is a program that allows high school juniors and seniors to take college-level courses at the College without
paying tuition. Students receive both high school and college credit at the same time. As a Running Start student I
understand and acknowledge the following:
COLLEGE CONSIDERATIONS
Running Start Eligibility
I must be a junior or senior to participate in Running Start. As a Running Start student I can take classes for a
maximum of 6 quarters (fall, winter, and spring quarters). My eligibility terminates upon graduating from high
school. No more than 15 credits may be taken through the Running Start program per college quarter, with a
maximum of 45 credits per school year.
I must complete an English Placement to determine classes I take through Running Start. This requires me to submit
documentation to determine my placement or to take the Accuplacer assessment at the college.
I must earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher each quarter and complete the classes I register for to stay in good
standing. If I do not meet these standards, I will be placed on probation and/or suspended from the program.
I will comply with Edmonds CC Student Code of Conduct.
Costs
I am required to pay student and class fees. Fees are estimated at $200-$300 per quarter for a full time [15 credits]
student. (A fee waiver is available for qualifying low income student.)
I must provide my own transportation to and from the community college. I can get an ORCA pass for a reduced rate
from the college if needed.
I must buy my textbooks. Textbooks can cost more than $150 per class/per quarter. (Textbook assistance is
available for a qualifying low income student.)
I am required to pay tuition and fees for classes numbered below 100 level (i.e. Math 097), college credits in excess
of the limit stated on my quarterly Enrollment Verification form, summer quarter classes, and a small number of
classes not sponsored by Running Start (i.e. Music 150 & 250).
I must pay fees/excess tuition by the first day of the quarter. Non-payment by this deadline may result in being
dropped from all classes.
I will notify the college and high school if I drop or withdraw from a class.
Expectations of Running Start Students as College Students
A Running Start student is considered a college student. This being the case, I am expected to take college-level courses
and do college-level work. College-level courses can be demanding, requiring up to two hours of homework for every
hour of instruction.
College is different than high school and attendance may or may not be taken. Progress reports are not given.
Classes might include mature subject matter as well as potentially controversial topics. Students, regardless of
age, are required to complete each college class assignment.
It is my responsibility to manage my time carefully to ensure I am successful. This includes scheduling high school
and college classes so that they do not conflict, and leaving myself adequate time for travel to and from the college.
College and high school instructors will not excuse arriving late or leaving early.
I must read my mail in my college email account (EdMail) to ensure I remain informed.
Credits, Course Selection and Graduation Requirements
I will contact Running Start staff with questions about classes and college degree requirements. I will contact my high
school counselor for questions related to high school equivalency and graduation requirements. It is my responsibility
to select classes that satisfy high school graduation requirements and for determining how credits earned at Edmonds
CC will transfer to other colleges and/or meet college degree program completion requirements.
I understand that most community college 5-credit course (100 or above level course) will equal 1.0 high school
credit. (See your high school counselor for specifics about how a college class will be counted at the high
school.)
College Records, Parent Access, Transcripts and Transferability of Credit
Running Start courses will be recorded on a college transcript. Depending on how you do, this can have a positive or
negative impact on future college admission or scholarship decisions. All grades and withdrawals I earn at Edmonds
CC are part of my permanent college record and high school transcript.
Parents will not have access to your progress and information about how you are doing. Information about your
record at the college will be disclosed to a parent ONLY if a FERPA consent form is on file at the college. Even with
a FERPA release form on file, a parent will have access to limited information. College instructors are not available
to speak with parents regarding academic progress of a student and parents are not notified if you skip a class or are
failing to hand in work.
Running Start community college credits transfer to all but two colleges/universities in state (Whitman and University
of Puget Sound). Often Running Start credits transfer to institutions out of state, but there are exceptions. If I intend to
go out of state, I need to do some research to determine how the credits transfer.
HIGH SCHOOL CONSIDERATIONS
Eligibility for Running Start.
I must live within the School District boundaries, or be attending high school in the district on a variance, to receive
college and high school credit through the Running Start program and my high school.
If I withdraw from my high school I will no longer be eligible for the Running Start program, and tuition for my
college classes will not be paid by the School District.
As a home schooled student I must enroll in a Washington State School District high school before I can attend any
Running Start classes. I am not required to attend classes at the enrolled high school.
I am not allowed to continue with the Running Start program after I have completed my high school graduation
requirements. If I have not completed my graduation requirements, I may continue in Running Start and take college
level courses for my junior and senior year.
Relationship with High School and Counselors
The high school is not responsible for my actions while I am attending college classes.
It is my responsibility to keep updated on high school information such as holidays, schedule changes, photos, senior
deadlines, etc.
I must contact my counselor in advance if I need his/her signature. Drop-ins will not guarantee immediate
counselor signature.
Transcript and Graduation Requirements
I must fulfill all of the graduation requirements of the School District in order to graduate with a School District high
school diploma. If I am a Running Start student, this means I will need to take enough equivalent credits at community
college to match the minimum credits required by the district for graduation. In all cases, I will check with my high
school counselor to ensure that I am making continued progress toward graduation. My high school counselor will
determine which community college classes will meet School District graduation requirements (see the Running Start
equivalency chart for your community college for more information).
I must complete all grade level tasks and activities in fulfillment of the School District High School and Beyond Plan
graduation requirements (at Edmonds SD this is Naviance) if I am to graduate.
Once I complete a college class (whether passed or failed), the class and grade will appear on my high school
transcript (no exceptions).
If I take college classes that I pay for myself, in order to have the credits posted on my high school transcript I must
send a copy of my official transcript to the high school. The college classes will be placed on my official high school
transcript. Credits I pay for or earn during summer quarter will apply toward high school graduation if the credits
meet an equivalency requirement.
I have read and agree to the Edmonds Community College Running Start Agreement above.

Student & Parent/Guardian
I understand that:
The student is responsible for understanding when his or her choice of schedule will result in tuition charges. If the student enrolls for more high school and
college credits than are identified in the Running Start State Funding Limit Table, the student is responsible for:
1) paying all college tuition and fees associated with exceeding the college credits identified in the table; or
2) withdrawing from the excess college or high school course(s).
The student is required to pay any class/lab fees charged for college classes.
Enrollment in specific college classes cannot be guaranteed even if the classes are needed to fulfill high school graduation requirements.
To add/withdraw from a course, the student must complete the college Add/Drop process by the college deadline and notify the high school counselor.
The student is responsible for ensuring that college courses completed as part of the Running Start program will meet high school graduation requirements.
If the student plans to transfer, it is the student’s responsibilitiy to determine college admissions policies/deadlines and whether credits will transfer.
The student and parent’s signatures below provide permission for the high school and college to share the Running Start student’s academic records, which
can include the student’s grades, billing, registration, and attendance records regardless of whether FERPA rights belong to the student or parents.
After completing the college coursework, students are responsible for requesting offical college transcripts through the college’s registrar office.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand both sides of this form, and will comply with the conditions of Running Start participation and the expectations
of college course enrollment.
