Before you talk to your counselor, complete these steps:

1. Watch the informational video before going through the Running Start sign-up process on the SPSCC website. Once you've watched the video, read through the SPSCC Running Start information page ( and connect to this website)  https://spscc.edu/apply/runningstart
2. Attend an information session; SPSCC will have many orientation sessions coming up.  Please see their website for available times and locations: https://spscc.edu/apply/runningstart#info-sessions
3. If you decide to participate in Running Start, take the placement test or go through the self-guided placement process and THEN (see #4 below)
4. Make an appointment with your counselor and be ready to show confirmation of your acceptance into Running Start. Do not schedule an appointment until you are accepted into the program.
