Courses That Begin After November 15

Exam orders for courses that start after the November 15 final ordering deadline—i.e., second-semester, trimester, or block schedule courses—don’t incur the late order fee. When creating class sections, the AP coordinator or teacher will denote sections for these courses as “second semester.” The exam order for courses that start after the final ordering deadline must be submitted by March 15, 2024 (11:59 p.m. ET)

There’s not an option in AP Registration and Ordering to create a second-semester exam only section. However, you can order exams for students who may be taking a second-semester course at another school and taking the exam at your school. Details are in the AP Coordinator’s Manual, Part 1.
