Dual-enrollment through UT OnRamps allows students to earn college credit while in high school and is different from Dual Credit. OnRamps courses will transfer to any public college or university.

- Dual enrollment students receive two grades: one from the high school teacher and one from the UT professor; dual credit students receive the same grade earned in high school on their college transcripts.
