Running Start at Green River College
The Running Start program offers academically qualified high school juniors and seniors enrolled in public high schools the opportunity to take college classes while earning credit for high school. Running Start covers the cost of tuition for college-level courses while students are responsible for fees and supplies. Students may take classes at any one of the Green River campuses or online.
