Before You Enroll

Running Start students must complete the following steps each quarter before enrolling for the following quarter.

  • By week three:
    Check your enrollment access time in ctcLink or My Green River to see the specific day and time that your enrollment window opens. Click here for a video tutorial on how to check your enrollment date and time.
  • Prior to your enrollment access time:
    Meet with your high school counselor or school district office to complete the Running Start Enrollment Verification Form. Complete the form, including your signature and a parent or guardians signature. Submit the form to the Running Start Office by the priority processing date listed on the main Running Start page to ensure it is processed in time. Incomplete forms may delay your enrollment.
  • If you are on academic alert or probation
    You must complete the steps outlined in the email that you received at the start of this quarter. Please refer to that email or to the process listed on Running Start Academic Standards. To meet with a Running Start advisor to discuss your academic progress, you can call  253-288-3380 or visit Navigate360 to schedule an appointment.

Enrolling in Classes

  • You may utilize the following tools from Class Schedules & Catalog to search for courses:
    • Class Finder: This tool allows you to search for classes by subject, time, campus location, and more.
    • Class Schedule: Includes class offerings for a particular quarter and important information regarding tuition, academic calendar, and more.
    • College Catalog: Provides course descriptions for all Green River College classes, important college academic policies, and a list of Programs of Study
  • If you already have the item number(s) for next quarter’s class(es), enroll once your enrollment time opens. Consider adding these classes to your shopping cart prior to your enrollment time to simplify enrolling in classes on that day. There are tutorials available online to help you enroll in classes.
  • If you are on a waitlist for a class that is full, remember to check your email regularly as you will be notified of your waitlist position. To remove yourself from a waitlist, you can manage your waitlist through ctcLink or My Green River.
  • Remember to pay for your fees (and tuition, if applicable) within four business days after enrolling in classes. You may pay online through ctcLink or at the Cashier's Office.

Online Classes

If you are interested in taking an online class, we recommend starting with one online class or a hybrid (both online and classroom format) class. You can learn more about the different class types here.
