Running start program enrollment under this chapter is
				  limited as follows (and as may be further limited for academic reasons under
				  WAC 392-169-057) :
(1) An eligible student who enrolls in grade
				11 may enroll in an institution of higher education while in the 11th grade for
				no more than the course work equivalent to one academic year of enrollment as
				an annual average full-time equivalent running start student.
(2) An eligible student who enrolls in grade
				12 may enroll in an institution of higher education while in the 12th grade for
				no more than the course work equivalent to one academic year of enrollment as
				an annual average full-time equivalent running start student.
(3) As a general rule a student's eligibility
				for running start program enrollment terminates at the end of the student's
				12th grade regular academic year, notwithstanding the student's failure to have
				enrolled in an institution of higher education to the full extent permitted by
				subsections (1) and (2) of this section: Provided, That a student who has
				failed to meet high school graduation requirements as of the end of the
				student's 12th grade regular academic year (September through June) due to the
				student's absence, the student's failure of one or more courses, or another
				similar reason may continue running start program enrollment for the sole and
				exclusive purpose of completing the particular course or courses required to
				meet high school graduation requirements, subject to the enrollment limitation
				established by subsection (2) of this section.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Concurrent or combined regular high school program and
				  running start program enrollment by a student may exceed the equivalent of
				  full-time enrollment as follows:
(1)
				An eligible student's concurrent enrollment in both the regular high school
				program, and in running start or an institution of higher education under this
				chapter, may exceed the equivalent of full-time enrollment: Provided, That a
				designated school district representative and a designated college or
				university representative may jointly limit a student's concurrent high school
				and institution of higher education enrollment, but not to less than the
				equivalent of full-time enrollment, for bona fide academic reasons based upon a
				joint evaluation of the student's capabilities and the total course work the
				student seeks to enroll in.
(2)
				Prior to the 2018-19 school year and for purposes of limiting a student's
				combined regular high school and running start program enrollment for bona fide
				academic reasons under subsection (1) of this section twenty-five hours per
				week shall constitute full-time high school enrollment, and fifteen quarter
				credits or fifteen semester credits shall constitute full-time running start
				enrollment. For example, a student enrolled in the regular high school program
				for ten hours per week (one-third FTE) and in a college for ten quarter credit
				(two-thirds FTE) is enrolled the equivalent of full-time. Beginning with the
				2018-19 school year, twenty seven hours and forty-five minutes per week shall
				constitute full-time high school enrollment. Therefore, a student enrolled in
				the regular high school program for nine hours and fifteen minutes per week
				will equal one-third FTE and in a college for ten quarter credits (two-thirds
				FTE) is enrolled the equivalent of full-time.
