Who we are: OnRamps was established in 2011 with the mission of increasing the number and diversity of students who engage in learning experiences aligned with the expectations of leading colleges and universities. Our team of 55+ experts in the fields of instructional innovation and design, professional learning and development, and enrollment management serve a growing community of high school students and their families, high school teachers, counselors, district and campus administrators, and college and university faculty and leadership ."
What we do: We deliver high-quality distance education to students and teachers. Our dual enrollment courses, flexible to in-person, hybrid and distance learning modalities, have prepared more than 105,000 students in Texas for the challenges and rigor of college.
We offer robust professional development to teachers and faculty to help advance their content knowledge and expertise and boost student engagement, persistence, and completion.
We partner with school districts and higher education institutions—whether through offering OnRamps courses or seeking unique, customizable supports—to help students and teachers excel in the classroom and beyond."
We offer 7 different OnRamps classes. The OnRamps program is all done through UT. Students receive a high school grade AND a college grade for each OnRamps course they are in. These two grades are not dependent upon the other, but should be similar. If they receive a passing college grade for their OnRamps Course, students can earn college credit for that class. They will also receive a UT Transcript.
If you'd like to take an OnRamps course, tell your counselor which one you would like to take. There is no application or testing required.
