In 2015, the Texas legislature passed House Bill 18 to bolster the college and career advising available to students in middle and high schools across the state. The Bill calls for multi-agency efforts to help counselors and other school personnel prepare students for postsecondary enrollment and entry into the workforce. Housed at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas OnCourse is responsible for identifying the needs of Texas students and developing technologically advanced mechanisms for communicating information to advisers, students, and families. Resources such as training modules and vast support networks are poised to make an impact on the postsecondary paths of young Texans. This report presents findings from research that was conducted as a part of the Texas OnCourse initiative. Specifically, this research explored how high school students' academic coursework and educational expectations influenced postsecondary educational outcomes.
