Message for Our High School AP Students
|
|
If you have a high school student that is enrolled in AP Courses, this message is for you! The deadline to submit a minimum exam deposit of
$40 per exam
is October 28, and is approaching fast! If you have not completed the AP Exam Deposit form, which includes submitting payment, please do so. The College Board made significant changes to the AP ordering process this year, and while the exam fees themselves have not changed, the late/cancel/change fee has increased to $40 per exam.
Please submit payment at your earliest convenience and before the October 28 deadline. Failure to do so will result in either a cancellation of your child’s exam(s) or additional fees being charged by the College Board for a late exam order. If your family participates in the Free Lunch program, the AP Exam Deposit Form must still be completed, but no payment will be required. Lastly, if you need financial assistance to help cover the exam costs, the form and deposit are still required, but there is additional information on the
APTS
to support you with the balance.
Click here for the link to
APTS
, the 3rd party vendor where payments are to be made. Please read the page thoroughly, then complete the AP Exam Deposit Form and submit payment.
