UT OnRamps Courses – These courses can be taken in isolation or in any combination (the student does not need to take all of the courses). The availability of each course depends on UT staffing and partnership ability, as well as the number of HHS students who request the course.
UT OnRamps English III
UT OnRamps Pre-Cal
OnRamps works through a dual-enrollment model
Students who meet rigorous university-level readiness standards will have the opportunity to earn UT Austin credit as well as high school credit. OnRamps is not a dual-credit program, meaning you do NOT get simultaneous credit for both high school or college. In OnRamps you are enrolled in two separate courses, one high school course and on college course. Because you are enrolled in two separate course you will earn two separate grades, one from your high school instructor and one from your college instructor. UT and District grading policies and procedures are completely separate. Only the curriculum is the same.
OnRamps provides a low-risk opportunity to experience a challenging college level course. You can sign up to take the course and choose or decline the credit at the end of your course. If you decide to decline the credit you will have no UT Austin transcript for that course.
