OnRamps

What is OnRamps?

OnRamps is a dual-enrollment program that bring rigorous courses aligned with the high standards and expectations of the University of Texas at Austin. The program uses a dual-enrollment model. Using a hybrid delivery approach, students meet rigorous university-level college readiness standards and have the opportunity to earn UT Austin credit from a UT faculty member and high school credit from their local teacher. 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.

  • The OnRamps Dual Enrollment Program allows high school students to experience college academic rigor by taking actual college exams created by a UT professor.
  • 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.
  • Dual enrollment students may choose to have the college grade transcripted on their UT transcripts; Dual credit students’ grades will be recorded on the college transcripts
