Review of Basic Running Start Fiscal RulesFTE Calculation

• Enrollment reporting is based on enrolled FTE on count day.• A student is either enrolled in a high school class or a Running Start

class.• A student enrolled in a Running Start class cannot be claimed both by

the high school and a college.• FTE is:– High school enrollment is based on enrolled weekly instructional

minutes. 1,500 instructional minutes = 1.0 FTE. Allowable passing time can be claimed. Schools with late starts or early releases must reduce their claimable

FTE.– Running Start enrollment is based on enrolled college credits and

beginning for 2014-15 school year, number of months class is offered. ([enrolled class credits]÷ 15) x (3 ÷ [class’s # of months]).

15 credits = 1.0 FTE Converts 3 month college quarter class over actual length of class.
