<p class="MsoNormal">In an effort to expand equitable access to dual credit consistent with OSPI’s priority of providing rigorous learner-centered options in every community, the legislature has made a significant new investment to expand Running Start into
the summer term to increase flexibility in students’ course scheduling and the likelihood of achieving an associate degree while still in high school. The legislature has invested $3,000,000 to support additional Running Start enrollment in the 2022 summer
term for current Running Start students (more guidance on eligibility coming soon), including Class of 2022 high school graduates who are 15 or fewer credits from earning an associate’s degree through any of the state’s community and technical colleges.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An OSPI bulletin along with SBCTC guidance for colleges will be available next week.
