Coordinators use the AP Digital Portfolio to:

Monitor the progress of students' submissions of performance task components

Course Specific Information

AP African American Studies

AP African American Studies teachers use the AP Digital Portfolio platform to enter scores for the Presentation and Oral Defense component of their students’ individual project scores.

May 31, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET is the final deadline for AP African American Studies teachers to submit scores. Students without a project score from their teacher after this date will receive a zero on this component of the AP Exam.

AP Art and Design

AP Art and Design students submit their portfolio components through the AP Digital Portfolio. They don't mail physical work to the AP Program.

May 8, 2026, 8 p.m. ET is the deadline for students to submit their three AP Art and Design portfolio components (Sustained Investigation Images, Written Evidence, and Selected Works) as final to the AP Program for scoring.

Students are responsible for submitting their work. We recommend setting an in-class deadline, so teachers have enough time to review student work before the final submission date.

Check out the AP Art and Design Digital Submission Guide for Teachers for step-by-step instructions.

AP Latin

AP Latin teachers enter students’ scores into the AP Digital Portfolio for the two in-class checkpoints that are part of the Course Project. In addition, teachers access the course prompts through the AP Digital Portfolio.

Students can also use the AP Digital Portfolio to access the Course Project passages.

June 30, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET is the deadline for teachers to submit scores in the AP Digital Portfolio for students who have completed their service projects.

Some students’ AP African American Studies, AP Seminar, AP Research, or AP Computer Science Principles projects also serve as their AP with WE Service projects. In these cases, teachers still need to score the projects independently using the AP with WE Service recognition rubric for students to earn the AP with WE Service recognition.
