CCMR Data Dashboard

We encourage you to review the data trends below to gain insight into the progress of our college credit-bearing and potential college credit-bearing programs. If you have any questions about these programs, please don't hesitate to reach out to your student's academic counselor or email NISD College and Career Readiness.

How Credit is Earned

Advanced Placement (AP): Students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam are eligible to earn college credit, though the type of credit awarded varies by college or university. It’s important to note that AP Exam scores do not affect the grade earned in the corresponding high school course.

Dual Credit: Students who pass a dual credit course automatically earn college credit, with the grade earned in the college class also reflected on their high school transcript.

OnRamps: Students who score a D- or better have the option to accept or decline the grade through UT. Accepting the grade grants them college credit; declining it ensures no grade is posted to their UT transcript. However, the high school grade is non-negotiable. OnRamps is considered concurrent credit, so the grade in the college course may differ from what appears on the high school transcript.
