Download RSEVF (Academic YeaR 2025-26) Download RSEVF (Summer 2025)

• Always use current version of the RSEVF and recycle all previous versions of the form.
• Indicate "1st semester" or "2nd semester" for the high school term:
  • OC Fall Quarter = High School 1st semester
  • OC Winter Quarter = High School 2nd semester
  • OC Spring Quarter = High school 2nd semester
• Provide the high school FTE, not the number of high school classes a student is enrolled in.
• Use the Running Start Funding Limit Table to look up and specify the maximum college FTE available to your students based on their high school enrollment.
• Write notes in the "Comments" section describing acceptable class alternates, schedule considerations, permissions to add/drop classes, etc.
• Changes to Schedule: If a student changes his/her high school or college schedule, a new RSEVF should be completed and submitted to the college immediately, reflecting the revised FTE eligibility.
• If a mistake in completing the RSEVF is made by either the high school or college, the party that made the mistake should absorb the incorrectly calculated FTE.

For assistance completing the RSEVF for your students, please watch the tutorial linked below or contact our office.
