OnRamps In conjunction with UT Austin

Course offered at Waltrip

OnRamps courses are designed by The University of Texas at Austin Faculty to replicate a rigorous, college-level learning experience and to meet postsecondary standards of quality, depth, and complexity. As a number of OnRamps courses are offered over a full year, the concepts that would typically be covered in one semester can be deeply developed over a longer period of time to promote student learning.

How OnRamps Works

• OnRamps students are enrolled in both a high school course led by a high school teacher and a distance college course led by a college instructor of record.
• Each OnRamps high school teacher is solely responsible for evaluating and awarding the student's grade.
• Each college instructor of record—approved by the University's associated academic department for each course—is solely responsible for evaluating and awarding the student's college grade.
• The number and type of assignments for the college course will vary based on the course. Each course syllabus will contain information specific to that course.
• Students can earn college credit in high school by passing the distance college course. Once a credit is earned, students can elect to accept or reject the college credit.
