Each year, many Running Start students graduate from high school and LCC at the same time.

You can choose from day, evening or online college classes. Once you've completed a course satisfactorily, you'll receive college credit, which is transferable to most colleges and universities. Credits may also apply to high school graduation, according to your school district policies.

Running Start isn't for everyone. You need to decide if it's right for you.

College isn't easy. You'll need to study hard, but about 300 local high school students participate in Running Start every year. If they can do it, so can you!

Talk it over with your parents or guardian. LCC needs parent or guardian permission before you start, so get them involved in your decision.
