4. Review and sign the KHS Running Start Contract
5. Meet with your Kamiak counselor to complete the RS Verification Form. You MUST bring a copy of the verification form to your meeting, filled out with student information (top section) and all signatures.
Please be sure to also bring your signed Running Start Contract, placement information from the college, and the college classes (course titles and codes) you have selected.
Note: Each college has advisors available to help you choose classes at the college and will help you achieve your goals of earning your Associate's Degree or Transfer Degree to other
programs/universities, if desired. Your high school counselor will assist you in monitoring your progress in earning your requirements for KHS graduation. Kamiak counselors cannot advise on AA/AS
degrees.
6. Students will submit their verification form to the college to finalize registration. Once the form is submitted, students will log in to their CTC Link account to sign-up for their chosen classes, once class
registration opens.
Once you're enrolled and registered for classes at RS you will be dropped from any Kamiak classes that you intend to take at the college. Remember you should not be visiting Kamiak's campus during
school hours unless you are attending classes.
