How Do I Get Started?

• Once you have qualified for Running Start, complete a Peninsula College application.
  
  
• Meet with your high school counselor to complete a Planning Form and review classes needed to meet graduation requirements.  Request a copy of your official high school transcript.  Homeschooled students should go to the school district office to complete the appropriate paperwork.
  
  
• Submit all forms to Peninsula College and schedule an appointment with a Running Start advisor to select your classes and register.
  
  
• Read the Peninsula College catalog to become familiar with policies and procedures.  All students at PC are subject to the academic and disciplinary policies of the college.
  
  
• Buy books and any other supplies before the first day of class to avoid lines in the bookstore.
  
  

• Attend ORIENTATION for Running Start students.  This orientation provides the necessary foundation for success at Peninsula.  It is a chance to learn about the college culture, faculty expectations, and campus resources.

• Go to class!
