Section 392-169-057 - Enrollment - Extent of combined high school and running start enrollment Concurrent or combined regular high school program and running start program enrollment by a student may exceed the equivalent of full-time enrollment as follows:
(1) An eligible student's concurrent enrollment in both the regular high school program, and in running start or an institution of higher education under this chapter, may exceed the equivalent of full-time enrollment: Provided, That a designated school district representative and a designated college or university representative may jointly limit a student's concurrent high school and institution of higher education enrollment, but not to less than the equivalent of full-time enrollment, for bona fide academic reasons based upon a joint evaluation of the student's capabilities and the total course work the student seeks to enroll in.(2) Prior to the 2018-19 school year and for purposes of limiting a student's combined regular high school and running start program enrollment for bona fide academic reasons under subsection (1) of this section twenty-five hours per week shall constitute full-time high school enrollment, and fifteen quarter credits or fifteen semester credits shall constitute full-time running start enrollment. For example, a student enrolled in the regular high school program for ten hours per week (one-third FTE) and in a college for ten quarter credit (two-thirds FTE) is enrolled the equivalent of full-time. Beginning with the 2018-19 school year, twenty seven hours and forty-five minutes per week shall constitute full-time high school enrollment. Therefore, a student enrolled in the regular high school program for nine hours and fifteen minutes per week will equal one-third FTE and in a college for ten quarter credits (two-thirds FTE) is enrolled the equivalent of full-time.Wash.
