Running Start
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Running Start students are responsible for knowing their grades every quarter as well as making sure their grades meet the following policy. All Running Start students and their parents will be required to sign an agreement to comply with this policy in order to participate in Running Start.
As a Running Start Student, EACH QUARTER YOU MUST:
- Get Good Grades:
- Complete each quarter with a minimum 2.00 grade point average for attempted credits paid for by Running Start.
- Grade point average is determined by college credits and does not include high school enrollment.
- Finish What You Start:
- Complete all credits you are enrolled in after the 10th day of the quarter.
- Non-completion of classes means you received "I," "N," "W," "V," or "U" grades.
Probation
You will be placed on "Probation Status" the following quarter for either of the following conditions:
- You earn less than a 2.00 grade point average for one quarter OR
- You fail to complete all credits you are enrolled in after the 10th day of the quarter. This includes all classes in which you receive "I," "N," "W," "V," or "U" grades.
Suspension
You will be permanently suspended from the Edmonds Community College Running Start Program if: You were on probation the last quarter enrolled and the current quarter:
- You earn less than a 2.00 grade point average for the probationary quarter OR
- You fail to complete all credits you are enrolled in after the 10th day of the probationary quarter.
If you are suspended and you have already registered for classes, you will have until the first day of the suspension quarter to complete and submit an appeal or you will be withdrawn from classes.
Even though we make every effort to notify you by mail, you are still responsible for knowing your grades every quarter, and whether you are on probation or suspension. If you have any questions, please call us immediately at 425-640-1761.
