PC Student At PC, we expect our Running Start (RS) students to take full responsibility for their education. While they are in the Running Start program, they are college students and are treated as such.

We do not track attendance or class performance during the quarter, and students must be responsible for seeking help from instructors and college staff. Students are also responsible for their class schedule - they are the only ones permitted to make changes to their class schedules by meeting with an advisor.
Full time RS students should ask their high school about ways to stay informed about the high school's timelines and deadlines for graduation, school events, and graduation requirements (senior projects, state testing, etc.).
As a RS parent or caregiver, trying to arrange teacher conferences or making personal phone calls to instructors to discuss your student's performance is inappropriate at the college and university level. The High School Programs Manager can inquire for you if there is an emergent need and if there is a Release of Information form in place. (More information on the 'Release of Information' requirement can be found in the 'How Can I Access My Student's Records?' topic later in this Module.)
When a minor student is enrolled in a college class, they are considered to be a responsible adult, as any other student. Students (regardless of age) are expected to take the initiative to address academic or personal problems that may interfere with their ability to succeed in a course. The college provides advisors and counselors to assist students in overcoming academic difficulties, up to and including an appeal process if students feel they have been treated unjustly.
