ADVANCED PLACEMENT 2019-2020
- Important Information on Deadlines for Registration, Ordering, Payments
The College Board has made significant changes this year to the registration and ordering process and to the payment deadlines. Due to this, our processes and payment deadline has also changed.
Students have registered for the AP Courses on their College Board accounts this month which has enabled them to access to the online resources offered by the College Board and at the same time register for the course exams.
This registration process does not mean their exam is ordered. Consistent with prior years, the exam is ordered for your student based on your payment. Please see below for detailed information:
Exam Cost Information
1. Exam cost is $94 per exam, late fee is $40 per exam for payment made after order deadline November 1st.
2. How do we make a payment for the exam fees?
Payments will be accepted on your student's school account. Please follow directions on the Touchbase pages as the exam fees will NOT be placed on student accounts this year. https://touchbase.bsd405.org/ Payment is also accepted at school's accounting window.
3. Students on fee waivers are to notify the accounting office if they intend to take the exam. If notified fees are waived. If not notified NO Exam is Ordered. Late exam fees are NOT fee waiverable.
4. Inability to pay should not be a reason for a student not taking an exam. Scholarship opportunities are available for families and students who would benefit from financial assistance but not on the fee waiver program. Forms are available in the Counseling Center. Completed forms to be processed prior to October 15th, payments are due prior to deadline, November 1.
5. Students who wish to self- study for an exam are to contact Lynn Semler, AP Coordinator at semlerl@bsd405.org to arrange for registration.
6. Our current district policy is no refunds after exam order has been placed
7. If your student is unable to commit to taking an exam by November 1st, a partial payment of $40 will be accepted with full payment due no later the February 1st. This is not eligible for scholarship funds. If your student decides not to take the exam the $40 fee will NOT be reimbursed.
Students who choose this option please contact Lynn Semler, semlerl@bsd405.org to sign an agreement.
Late Testing/Testing Conflicts/Students w/Testing Accommodations
- Late testing is still allowed for College Board Allowed Circumstances; testing conflicts, academic or athletic event, emergency situations (serious injury, illness or family tragedy)
