Can a home schooled or private school student participate in Running Start (RS)?
Running Start specifically refers to an agreement between the Hawai i Department of Education and the University of Hawai i to provide dual credit for courses successfully completed. Students from private schools can achieve the same results as Running Start by enrolling in Early Admit Programs, if their high school principal is willing to award high school credit. Similarly, home-schooled students would use Early Admit as their route to enrollment. Because home schooling does not involve the awarding of credit, there is no possibility for dual credit. For more information about Early Admit programs, contact the University of Hawai i campus at which you seek to enroll.
