Running Start Enrollment Verification Form (RSEVF)

- 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 alternates or schedule considerations.
- 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.
