What's new in the Academy:

  • An easier-to-navigate platform
  • A new My Progress page, which provides a comprehensive view of what you've accomplished in each course
  • Full syllabuses available for each module to easily pop in and find information in a hurry

Here's what else you need to know:

  1. Some modules are no longer available. They need to be updated or are no longer useful to your practice. These modules will no longer be available once the Academy relaunches:
    • Universal College Application  
    • Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA)  
    • Military Enlistment  
    • College Credits  
    • Basic Principles of Postsecondary Pathways  
    • QuestBridge National College Match
  2. Change in reward program. If you are a school counselor, you may be eligible for our reward program. Because of the platform change, we’re postponing the spring reward program window. Your next opportunity to request a reward will be in June.

We know the Texas OnCourse Academy is indispensable to your practice. We hope the improvements ensure that this critical resource is even more relevant, valuable, and easy to use. 

Thank you for trusting Texas OnCourse for your college and career advising needs.
