The OnRamps program allows students to take a class and earn both high school credit AND college credit through the University of Texas. It’s like taking two classes on the same subject – not double the work but definitely more than a normal class because you are doing homework and exams for both the high school and college side. My student earned a 97 in the high school class and a C for the college component. The C will NOT show on the high school transcript, just the 97. The guidance counselor said that it “probably” won’t show for “most” graduate programs. No idea what that means. My child wants to accept the credit but I am concerned it will come back to bite him somehow. Anyone have experience or advice on this?
If you accept the credit, then the grade will appear on your college transcript.

Will OnRamps credit impact my GPA at another college or university?
OnRamps credit will be considered transfer credit at colleges other than UT Austin. Each university has its own policies about factoring transfer credits into your GPA. Consult any college or university you may attend to determine its policies about credit transfer. Information about GPA calculation is often found in the undergraduate catalog. You can also contact the college or university Admissions office.
What will appear on my university transcript if I earn and accept college credit?
The Transcript column on the Current Enrollments web page shows what will appear on your university transcript for each OnRamps course in which you are enrolled.
If you earn and accept college credit, the final grade you earn in the course will appear on your university transcript.
If you declined your credit or did not earn credit in the OnRamps course, you will not have a university transcript for the course.

Sounds like it 100% shows on a UT transcript or if he applied to UT undergrad (which he is not). Otherwise it depends on what the graduate institution is requesting grade-wise.
I wonder if the counselors are pushing accepting credit so they can boast a passing statistic.
I think it’s best to not accept.

When a college student applies to a graduate or professional program (including medical or law school), all college courses and grades are included. That also applies if a college student applies to transfer to a different college.

Yep, makes sense. He declined the credit.
