6. Meet with your High School counselor and submit your Enrollment Verification Form
(EVF).
You receive tuition-free college credits based on the number of minutes you attend your public high school. You,
your parent/guardian and your high school counselor must sign the EVF. Each quarter, you must submit a new
EVF. Allow 3 business days for the Running Start office to process the EVF. Until processed, there is a hold on your
registration.
7. Pay tuition and/or fees by the quarterly tuition deadline.
Understand your financial responsibility. You risk being dropped from classes for non-payment. Running Start
students are responsible for the following costs:
• Tuition for any class that is below-100 (college) level.
• Any class taken during the Pre-Fall session or Summer Quarter.
• Any credits above the number of credits covered by the school district.
• Books and any transportation/parking costs.
• Quarterly course fees: Click here
for a complete list of fees.
Students eligible for Free/Reduced lunch are eligible for a fee-wavier. High School Counselors will note fee-waiver
eligibility on the Enrollment Verification Form (EVF). “Consumable fees” (studio art, lab fees) are not waived and are
the responsibility of the student.
Other important information for Running Start students:
Make sure you meet your high school graduation requirements. Confirm your high school graduation requirements with
your high school counselor. Cascadia advisors are available to help with transfer planning to 4-year schools. It is important
to be proactive in planning your college education.
Carefully plan your schedule. Make sure your Cascadia schedule fits into your other responsibilities. Faculty will expect
you to attend class and to meet frequent deadlines. Cascadia’s Spring Break may not be the same dates as your high
school’s Spring Break.
Cascadia is an adult learning environment, with a diversity of viewpoints. Information about student rights and
responsibilities is in the Cascadia student handbook
.
It is your responsibility to drop or withdraw from classes by college deadlines. Failing grades become part of your high
school and permanent college transcript.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of college student records.
Parents/guardians will not have access to student records unless the student presents a signed Release of Information
Form with photo identification to Enrollment Services.
I have read and agree to the Cascadia Running Start Contract.
