Step 5: Meet with Your High School Counselor

take. We strongly recommend you that you include a list of
alternate classes as well. Quarterly Course Approval Forms must
also be signed by a parent or guardian, even if the student is 18
years old. For every year you attend Running Start you must
complete this form with your counselor.
