What is RUNNING START?

Running Start allows eligible high school juniors and seniors to take tuition-free college-level classes at Spokane Falls, Spokane Community College or an IEL education center. These classes earn college credits that are transferable to four-year schools, AND they count toward high school graduation requirements. (Note: Students should check with their high school counselors about specific requirements!)

Running Start students can attend college full or part time.
