What is dual enrollment?
Dual enrollment refers to the two separate courses in which you are enrolled: a high school course implemented by a high school teacher and a distance college course implemented by a university Instructor of Record. Depending on your performance, you may earn high school credit, college credit, both high school credit and college credit, or neither high school nor college credit.
What is academic integrity?
Academic integrity means being honest in your academic work. It is an essential value for any educational institution, including high schools and colleges. As a student in an OnRamps course, you are subject to the University of Texas at Austin’s academic integrity policies. You cannot use unauthorized materials to complete assignments. You cannot substitute or allow another student to substitute for you to complete an assignment. The UT Austin Instructor of Record or the assignment instructions will make clear for each college assignment whether collaboration is allowed and what types of tools may be utilized.
To learn more, view the academic integrity module in the OnRamps Student Orientation, refer to the Academic Integrity section of your course syllabus, or review The University of Texas at Austin catalog, Chapter 11, Student Conduct and Academic Integrity.
What is a course syllabus?
The course syllabus is a document that provides important information about your OnRamps course and can be found in the Canvas college course. The syllabus includes information about college course expectations and rules, exams, homework assignments, grading, deadlines, technology requirements, and how to contact course staff for help. You are responsible for reading and understanding all information that appears in the course syllabus.
If I receive an accommodation in a high school course, may I receive the same accommodation in my OnRamps college course?
If you receive high-school accommodations related to a disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, you may also receive certain accommodations in your OnRamps course. Accommodations in an OnRamps course must follow accommodations in your Individual Education Plan or 504 Individual Accommodation Plan and be allowable under the university assessment practices. Accommodations are individualized and based on need and disability.
How do I request an accommodation for my distance college course?
You may request an accommodation for an OnRamps course by clicking the Additional Information button on the Current Enrollments web page.
If you need accommodations, you must inform the university Instructor of Record before the due date for an assignment in order to receive accommodations for that assignment. You are strongly encouraged to provide information about your accommodations needs during registration, at the beginning of the course, or immediately following changes to your Individual Education Plan or 504.
