Your Students Get More with 1.4 

Washington State is investing more in its high school students by increasing funding the Running Start to 1.4 FTE, which promotes students take summer classes.

Earning college credit at CPTC allows your students to catch up, get ahead, and try the college environment without reducing your high school’s FTE count.

Students finishing up their sophomore and junior years - aka "rising juniors and seniors" - in spring can earn college credit in select programs the following summer.

Help your students get ahead with Summer Running Start at CPTC. They can use it to explore career options, get general education classes like biology or computer literacy out of the way, or catch up on missed learning opportunities.

See the OSPI guide to Running Start.
