    Steps for starting a new application. 
    • You will need to select Everett Community College as your intended college.
    • You will be enrolling as a First Year student.
    • You can select either Academic or Non-Award Seeking as your intended program. We recommend selecting Academic if you will participate in Running Start in the future or take classes at Everett Community College after high school graduation.
    • You will select the term you intend to start classes.
    • If you chose Academic as your program, you will need to select a degree or certificate and a focus area. If you chose Non-Award Seeking, you will select Non-degree - Other as the intended degree or certificate and there will not be an academic focus area.
      • It can take 5-7 business days to process your application.  If you do not hear from us within 7 business days, please email runningstart@everettcc.edu.

Instructors' contact information can be found on our online directory.  Let the instructor know that you are an underage student and you need written permission to take the class.  The instructor is not compelled to give approval, and should be convinced that the student can function in his/her class.  If an instructor says "no" for any reason, you'll have to find a different class. Please note, instructor permission is valid for 2 business days once the quarter starts.  Please forward your emails to us as soon as you can as spots may fill up in the class.  If the class is full, you will be added to the waitlist if it's available.
