Advanced Academics FAQs

1. Enrollment

   1. DC (Lee) - Must apply through DC Coordinator.  College application and Testing required.

   2. On Ramps/AP - Can request via Skyward 

2. Communication

   1. All advanced academic information will be sent through Parent Square, unless it is a personal (1 to 1) matter.

   2. Due to FERPA laws Lee college does not allow any contact with parents without the student’s consent. To speak with an instructor not on our campus, a waiver must be signed at the Lee Campus.  To speak with an instructor on our campus the student must be present, or you can filter questions through the DC Coordinator.

3. Payment - changes from year to year

   1. Lee - $60 per credit hour. Payment due each semester at the beginning.

   2. AP - $98 per test

   3. OnRamps - $150 Due Spring Semester via MSB

4. GPA Scale

   1. All AP/OR/DC classes will be on a 6.0 scale, for class of 2028 and beyond

5. College Credit

   1. Students who complete Lee and On Ramps courses are able to receive a “Core Complete” stamp on their transcript if they complete all required courses.  This is possible to do even if you don’t start your Freshman year. 

   2. Students MAY receive college credit if they score a 3 or above on their AP tests.

6. Grading

   1. Lee Courses do not count toward GPA until the FINAL semester grade is input.  Students will receive grades in skyward for most Lee classes for UIL purposes, but only the final grade will affect GPA. This is due to the fact that some classes are online and we cannot see the grades until finals are submitted. 

   2. OnRamps will have two grades; one for High School and one for College.  Students have the option to not accept the college grade or have it reported on their transcripts if they are unsatisfied with the outcome
