Advanced Placement (AP)
2024-25 Advanced Placement Exam Information
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.
- Students who want to "self Study" will be able to obtain "Exam Only" codes by emailing bivy@lwsd.org.
- 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, pay for each AP exam your student has registered in MY AP Classroom through the LWSD Payment Portal.
- If both steps are not completed by midnight on Wednesday, October 30th, your exam order status will be changed to 'No' on the College Board's website.
- Students who miss the October, 2024, registration/payment window can pay during a late registration window in early 2025. There will be a $50 late fee per exam.
