UT Austin Transcripts Available Thursday, June 16
Beginning June 16, eligible students may request a transcript through UT Austin's Registrar if they earned and accepted credit for math, science, technology, and spring 2022 humanities courses. The Registrar charges a $20 fee for each transcript ordered, which is a residential fee, not an OnRamps fee. Students will not automatically receive a transcript. Information on the steps for requesting a transcript can be found on the OnRamps website.
Students who need a letter verifying enrollment in OnRamps or non-attendance at The University of Texas at Austin can request it through an online form. If students need a letter verifying their grade or credit before June 16, they can use the same form to make that request.
Advanced Coursework
Students in Humble ISD have the opportunity to choose from a variety of advanced coursework. More information about each opportunity can be found using the links to the left. You can also check out our ParentU where we discuss all of these options below.
Pre-AP Courses Will Now Be Titled Advanced Courses
After Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2021, courses that had been titled “Pre-AP” were changed to “Advanced.” This is due to trademark restrictions imposed by the College Board regarding the Pre-AP term.
There will be no changes to any other components of the courses other than the title. Grading practices, weighted grades for grade point average calculations, teachers, curriculum, and content all remain as they were prior to the name change. The name change applies only to courses that were titled Pre-AP. Courses that were titled AP or Advanced Placement remain titled AP courses.
Parents and students will see the Advanced course name reflected wherever the courses are listed, including in Home Access Center (HAC). Advanced courses equip students with the requisite skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in a multitude of upper level programs such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Credit, and UT OnRamps.
Humble ISD joins districts across Texas in moving away from the Pre-AP title due to the College Board’s trademark. The College Board informed districts to stop using the Pre-AP term by the fall of 2022. Founded in 1900, the College Board is a national organization that operates testing programs including the SAT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement.
OnRamps is an innovative dual enrollment and professional development initiative led by The University of Texas at Austin dedicated to preparing high school students for postsecondary student success.
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. Eligible students may elect to enroll in an OnRamps course for a letter grade. If the student earns and accepts credit in the course, the grade will appear on the student's university transcript. A letter grade of D- or better is considered passing.
OnRamps college credit earned for a letter grade of C- or above for courses with a Core Curriculum designation are required by law to transfer to any public higher education institution in the state of Texas. Most OnRamps courses have Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) equivalency numbers approved by The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin).
