| Important
Considerations
- Maturity
is Essential. In addition to academic readiness students
must have the personal discipline and responsibility to handle
independence and the fast pace of college classes.
- Students
Pay for Books & Lab Fees. Books can range from $40 to $110
each; lab fees run from$2.50 to $40 per class.
- Transportation
is the Student's Responsibility. A dependable means of transportation
is necessary; travel time and parking time should be considered
when scheduling classes.
- College
Credit Does Not Transfer to All Schools. BC college credit
transfers to virtually all public institutions and most private
colleges in the State of Washington; outside of the State of
Washington transfer credit is awarded on a college-by-college
basis.
- Socialization
Can Be an Issue. The college is an adult environment in
which there is great age diversity; students range in age from
high school age to the age of student's parents and grandparents.
- This
is a Personal Decision. Parents and students should discuss
Running Start together, taking into consideration the goals
and personality of the student. Once at BC, communcation with
the student becomes the only way a parent can track their success.
