  20. OnRamps 2019-2020 • NEISD will partner with the University of Texas at Austin to offer students the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school through an innovative Dual Enrollment program called OnRamps. • Dual Enrollment students will have the opportunity to earn college credit from a UT faculty member and high school credit from their high school teacher. OnRamps courses will transfer to any public Texas college or university. • Courses offered are Pre-AP Pre-calculus and AP Physics I

  21. The major differences between Dual Enrollment and Dual Credit are: • Students do not have testing requirements for admission to the Dual Enrollment courses; Dual Credit students have testing requirements. • Students choose to have grade reported on college transcript. • The OnRamps Dual Enrollment Program allows high school students to experience college academic rigor by taking actual college exams created by a UT professor.
