An Overview of Running Start

Envision yourself at high school graduation, knowing that you have already earned six, twelve, or even thirty college credits.

The possibility exists—can you make it real?

Running Start is a statewide program that provides an opportunity for academically qualified juniors and seniors to enroll in college classes through the University of Hawai‘i system as part of their high school coursework. This unique partnership between the Department of Education and the University of Hawai‘i System allows public high school students to attend college classes during the fall, spring, and summer while earning both high school and college credits. Currently, nine UH campuses participate in Running Start: UH Hilo, UH West O‘ahu and the seven community colleges: Hawai‘i CC, Honolulu CC, Kapi‘olani CC, Kaua‘i CC, Leeward CC, Maui CC and Windward CC.

The college credits earned by Running Start students are accepted at all ten campuses of the University of Hawai‘i. Students who plan to attend private or mainland universities after high school graduation need to check with the individual institution regarding their acceptance of credit from concurrent enrollment programs such as Running Start.

In order to participate in Running Start, students need to complete the Running Start application form, which requires authorization from the student's parent, high school counselor, high school principal and college Running Start counselor. The counselors will review with students the need for placement scores or other pre-requisites, as applicable at the college campus where the student plans to enroll. The high school principal will determine if the college course is fulfilling a specific requirement or an elective requirement for high school graduation.

The Running Start Program provides the great opportunity of early access to college. Unlike other early access programs, it guarantees both high school and college credit to students who complete their coursework successfully. But along with this opportunity comes equally great responsibility. A student who decides, mid-semester, that s/he is not capable of handling this responsibility runs the risk of not fulfilling high school graduation requirements. It is important for students and parents to review all resource material available at this website and to seek additional information, if needed, from high school or college Running Start counselors before committing to participation.

Who’s Eligible?

Any student enrolled in grade 11 or 12 in any public high school in the state of Hawai‘i who:

Is under the age of 21 as of September 1st of the school year in which the college course is taken.

Fulfills and complies with college campus requirements such as:

Admission forms Obtains health Clearances (TB and MMR)

Achievement of appropriate math and English levels on placement tests at the CC’s or meeting admissions requirements

Payment of college tuition and fees

Maintenance of acceptable academic standing

Goals

Hawai‘i’s Running Start program has numerous goals, including but not limited to:

Accelerating student educational progress

Saving taxpayer educational dollars

Saving family college expenses

Enriching/expanding educational options for talented and motivated high school students

Improving articulation linking high school and college curricula

Providing an alternative educational environment for talented high school students

Beginning College Early

The decision to begin college early is an important one. It is important to consider each student’s maturity level in making choices about educational options. Although a student may be academically prepared for college level coursework, he/she may find the demands of college extremely overwhelming. Student success requires motivated individuals who work independently, take initiative, have good study skills, and are able to responsibly complete assignments throughout the semester.

Parents and students should give careful consideration to the appropriateness of this program before enrolling. Students are starting a permanent college transcript when they take any college classes. High school and college advisors are available to discuss the many options available. Each option has strengths and limitations.

Program Strengths

Students have the opportunity to take courses that may not be offered at their local high schools

Academically prepared students have an opportunity to get a head start on taking college level courses and earning high school and college credits simultaneously

Students have an opportunity to experience post-secondary education while in high school, easing the transition from high school to college and making future educational and career plans more realistic

Students who have difficulty fitting into a traditional high school setting may flourish in a different educational setting

Students and their families can reduce the cost of a college education if they qualify for a Gear Up federal scholarship

In college, high school students gain maturity and knowledge from the participation and diversity of other college students and upper level courses

Program Limitations

Some academically qualified students may not be ready socially or emotionally for the college environment. They may find the independence and the speed of college classes overwhelming

High schools provide a social network and social development experiences for teenagers which are not as accessible at the college level

College schedules may conflict with high school classes or extracurricular activities (sports, drama, clubs, etc.)

The college academic calendar may operate differently from the high school academic calendar. Holidays and vacation periods are frequently different. Students are expected to attend classes at the college even though their high schools may not be in session. Careful planning must occur in order to avoid conflicts with family, work, and school activities.

What to Expect as a College Student

Once students begin attending college, they will be considered "regular" college students. The faculty will expect the same level of classroom participation and quality of work from all students. Students will be expected to meet class deadlines, be prepared for class, ask questions, and conduct themselves as responsible adults. If students are having difficulty or need additional assistance, it is their responsibility to seek out the instructor. Instructors keep posted office hours when students can come to see them for help or discussion. Appointments can usually be made outside of office hours if students have schedule conflicts.

Class Pace — The academic pace of college classes is faster than in high school. For example, a high school math class that is taught in one year at the high school is taught in one semester at the college. There is little time for faculty to stop and review lessons for students who do not understand the material or were absent from class. However, faculty members encourage students to come to their offices for individual help.

Homework — Many college classes demand an average of 2 hours of homework for each hour of class. Unlike high school, there is no classroom time for homework.

Class Size — Classes can vary in size from 10 to 35 students, with the average class size about 30 students.

Attendance — Some faculty take attendance, others do not. It is the student’s responsibility to be prepared each day of class and meet all deadlines. Some faculty give pop quizzes and expect all papers to be turned in on time with no possibility for make up work.

Class Participation — This is an integral part of college and many faculty require students to participate in classroom discussions. Faculty will provide a syllabus at the beginning of the semester outlining their expectations. It is the student’s responsibility to understand and follow through with these expectations.

Withdrawing/Dropping a Class — Withdrawing from a class may have serious implications on a student’s high school graduation status. To withdraw from a class, students must obtain and fill out the correct form from the college office. A copy of this form should be given to the high school counselor and/or Running Start advisor. Many students believe that if they simply stop attending, they will be withdrawn from the course; this is NOT true, as they must officially withdraw by filling out the correct form and informing the proper officials.

Grade Reports — Grades are posted on "My UH Portal" following final exams. Each high school will receive grade reports for their Running Start students and will, in turn, post these credits/grades on each student’s high school transcript according to Department of Education guidelines.

Academic Records — Students successfully completing classes through the Running Start program will receive both high school and college credit. Grades received become part of their permanent college transcript.

Academic Standards — The University of Hawai‘i has an Academic Standards Policy. Students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average each semester. Students whose GPA falls below a 2.0 for any one semester will be placed on academic alert. Students face dismissal from the college if they are academically deficient. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for college graduation.

Costs — Tuition and some other costs can be paid for with funds provided by the GEAR UP Hawai‘i program if the student qualifies. If not, then all college expenses (tuition, books, lab fees, transportation, etc.) are the responsibility of the Running Start student.

Parking — Parking is free on the Windward Community College campus.

Parent’s Access to Student Records — It is the policy of the University of Hawai‘i to regard Running Start students as "regular college students." The colleges are adult learning communities and students are treated accordingly. Colleges are not allowed to give information regarding a student’s attendance or progress to parents without the student’s written permission. In addition, faculty will not discuss the student’s progress without written permission. The college is released to give academic information to high school counselors or administrators if necessary.

Transferring to Another College or University — College credits are transferable to all University of Hawai‘i campuses and to most private colleges in the state, according to the guidelines of each institution. It is important for students to consult with college admissions representatives and university advisors as early as possible. Students should contact out-of-state colleges on an individual basis for their policy on accepting Running Start credits.

Students can consider their enrollment from one of two broad perspectives:

Courses intended to fill general education requirements (i.e., the types of courses required of all degree-seekers, regardless of major)

Courses in specific fields in which they have possible career interests The two lists below are intended to provide examples of the college courses that may be taken to meet students' needs. The lists are by no means exhaustive. Complete lists of the courses available for any given semester are at the specific campus websites.

Examples of Courses fulfilling general education requirements

There are multiple broad areas of coursework within “general education”. Some examples of these areas include:

Arts, humanities, language and literature Oral and written communication Math and symbolic reasoning Natural sciences Social sciences

Examples of Courses Related to Specific Career Interests

There are six broad career pathways in Hawai‘i:

Arts & Communication Business Health Careers Industrial & Engineering Technology Natural Resources Public and Human Services

Running Start FAQs

ELIGIBILITY

Q: Can a home schooled or private school student participate in Running Start (RS)?

A: “Running Start” specifically refers to an agreement between the Hawai‘i Department of Education and the University of Hawai‘i to provide dual credit for courses successfully completed. Students from private schools can achieve the same results as Running Start by enrolling in Early Admit Programs, if their high school principal is willing to award high school credit. Similarly, home-schooled students would use “Early Admit” as their route to enrollment. Because home schooling does not involve the awarding of credit, there is no possibility for dual credit. For more information about “Early Admit” programs, contact the University of Hawai‘i campus at which you seek to enroll.

Q: Can a second year senior participate in RS?

A: Yes.

Q: May a student expelled from high school enroll in RS?

A: No.

Q: Are there any exceptions to RS eligibility?

A: No.

COLLEGE REGISTRATION/ENROLLMENT

Q: Is there a registration deadline for RS?

A: Yes. Students should check with their high school counselor.

Q: Can a student withdraw from a college class through RS without the permission of the high school?

A: Technically yes; however, there needs to be articulation with and coordination and counseling from the high school counselor.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Q: Is there a special off-campus pass for RS students?

A: Each high school will handle its own policy/procedure regarding RS students.

Q: How will students get to and from the college campus?

A: Each student will have to make his/her own transportation arrangements.

Q: Will the high school provide bus transportation to a student with disabilities who wants to take RS classes?

A: Yes, if the student qualifies for this service.

Q: Can 504 accommodations be made available to RS students at the colleges?

A: Yes, but RS students need to see a college counselor to arrange this.

GRADES/TRANSCRIPTS

Q: May a parent of an RS student request attendance/grade information from the college campus?

A: Only if the student gives permission by completing a written release provided by the college. Otherwise, all student information is confidential.

Q: Will the college credit(s) earned through RS appear on the high school transcript?

A: No. The high school transcript will reflect the high school equivalent of Running Start credits only. For a record of college credits that have been earned, the student must request transcripts directly from the college.

Q: Do all private and out-of-state public and private colleges and universities accept college credits through the RS program?

A: The courses numbered 100 and above are articulated to all community colleges, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, and University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu. Acceptance by other institutions is based upon an evaluation of a student’s transcript and existing articulation agreements.

GEAR UP Running Start Scholarship GEAR UP Hawai‘i offers Running Start Scholarships to Hawai‘i public school junior and seniors who participate in the Free or Reduced Lunch (FRL) program. The scholarship is used for tuition/fees and required textbooks for one 3 or 4 credit class. Note: the scholarship may be used for 4 credits only if the course is designated as a 4 credit class or if there is a one-credit lab that is taken concurrently. The award is conditional upon verification of FRL approval by the DOE, as well as admission to the University of Hawai‘i campus you are planning to attend. Each year GEAR UP awards up to $75,000 to eligible students statewide.
