The purpose of the Running Start Enrollment Verification Form is to ensure that high school students enrolled in the Running Start program do not exceed the allowable combined full-time equivalent (FTE) limitation for high school and college enrollment. This form provides essential information to the college about the student's available FTE for Running Start enrollment, the high school classes the student is enrolled in, and notifies the student and their parents/guardians if tuition charges will occur. The form is required for each college term and helps maintain accurate records of the student's enrollment status, facilitating the coordination between the high school and college to ensure the student meets graduation requirements and does not incur unexpected tuition costs.
