RUNNING START
ORIENTATION
ORIENTATION
• This orientation is for new Running Start
students. It is required of all new RS
students to attend an in person session prior
to the start of the quarter.
• The following slides are the actual
presentation. Some slides have been
modified to just let you know what
information is given as we depart from the
slide at that point in the actual presentation
and go online to demonstrate the material.
