High School Students
Students who are still attending high school, but wish to take credit courses at Clatsop Community College, have the following options:
Simultaneous Enrollment
Oregon High School students can take college classes at CCC through the Simultaneous Enrollment Program. It is a great opportunity for high school students to attend classes at Clatsop Community College. Students simultaneously earn credit toward high school graduation requirements and college credits from a regionally accredited community college.
College classes taken as a high school student may or may not count toward a college degree. Oregon University System institutions will accept college credits earned that are 100-level and above. Some private colleges and universities may not accept college credit that was earned while still in high school.

Running Start
Approved by the Washington State Legislature in 1990, Running Start allows eligible Washington high school juniors and seniors to attend college part-time or fulltime and receive both high school and college credit. Students do not pay tuition, but are responsible for textbooks and material fees. The college courses must meet the high school’s graduation requirements, and must be courses numbered 100 or above. Washington high school students are eligible to attend Clatsop Community College as Running Start students.
