A CTE dual credit course is a rigorous, college-level high school class that allows you to earn both high school and college credit at the same time.

Benefits include:

• Free College Credit
  Example: Taking “Computer Applications” in high school can earn you 5.0 credits at Renton Technical College for “MAP 114 – Computer Fundamentals: Office 365” AND save you $665.25 (the cost to take a 5.0 credit course at RTC).

• College Preparation
  Rigorous courses in high school will prepare you for a smooth transition to college education.

• Earlier College Graduation
  You may be able to graduate college sooner by earning college credit early while in high school.

• Higher Pay in the Military
  If you are planning to enter the military after high school, you may be able to enlist at a higher pay grade based on earned college credits.

Scholar Requirements:

• Complete a qualifying CTE High School course listed in the chart linked above with a “C” (2.0) or better and be granted credit by your High School.

Running Start is a Washington state program that allows high school scholars to earn credits toward both high school AND college at a local community college. Scholars must be juniors or seniors in good standing, and must meet all entrance requirements (placement test or alternative) as outlined by the college. Scholars who complete specific requirements can earn an Associate of Arts degree (AA) upon high school graduation. Tuition is free, and it is currently available at all high schools. Running Start scholars are still enrolled in Federal Way Public Schools. They must choose whether to pursue a full-time or part-time course load at Running Start. Full-time Running Start scholars take all their classes at the community college. Part-time scholars arrange a schedule that works for them to attend some classes at high school, and others at the community college. Running Start scholars may still participate in after-school activities at the high school. To meet district graduation requirements, running start scholars must still attend fall and spring scholar led conferences to provide evidence of academic progress through a review of transcripts or college gradebook information and complete course registration. They must also complete the community service requirements and all other school high school and beyond plan tasks listed in their MaiaLearning account, including a career plan essay. Additionally, Running Start scholars must meet with their counselor to discuss course scheduling and complete necessary paperwork once a quarter. We strongly recommend that scholars complete all required classes and credits prior to spring quarter of senior year. This ensures that seniors can be cleared for the graduation ceremony, since spring quarter finals extend past the graduation ceremony date.
