JHS Late order fees for our Spring AP Exams:
ALL STUDENTS must complete TWO MANDATORY STEPS to sign up for AP Exam(s):
- Students must register for their AP Exam by entering their class/exam Join Code in their College Board account (https://myap.collegeboard.org/login).
- Join Codes for classes are given by teachers, or click here: Join Codes
- Students who want to "Self Study" can find "Exam Only" codes in the link above.
- Families can verify if their student has entered a Join Code by looking at their student's College Board account.
- If the class is not visible, a Join Code has not been entered.
2. AFTER entering the Join Code, you can pay at the Bookkeeper window before/after school or during lunch between February 24th and March 6th. The cost for AP Exams during the late window is $151 (or $50/exam for students receiving Free/Reduced Meals).
- If both steps are not completed by the end of lunch on Thursday, March 6th, you will not be able to take AP Exams in May.
