AP PAYMENT INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES |
|
Dear Families of students enrolled in Advanced Placement Exams:
The Bellevue School District has made a decision to extend the payment due date for AP Exams. This decision was made based on the uncertainty which exists surrounding the format and the timing of the exams this year. Other factors taken into consideration; 1. there are no charges to schools this year from the College Board for unused exams. The College Board has waived these fees which in the past the school has absorbed. 2. we wanted to provide every opportunity possible for students this year given the full year of remote learning. Removing this deadline provides more time for students and families who have not yet made the decision to take the exams. The new payment due date is April 21st. This extension also applies to the scholarship/financial assistance due date now will be April 21st. Scholarship Form.
We still do encourage families to process payments as soon as possible as there remains a full refund policy for students who have paid and decide not to take the exam. If you have accounting questions, contact Cathy Lanning, lanningc@bsd405.org. Payments can be made on this link
If your student did not register for the exam during the regular registration window and would like to register for an exam, please contact Lynn Semler, AP Coordinator at semlerl@bsd405.org as soon as possible and no later than March 1st. Exam fees during this late registration period are now $135 per exam.
Thank you!!!
