Schools That Only Administer AP Exams and Don’t Offer AP Courses

If you’re the AP coordinator for a school that administers AP Exams but doesn’t offer AP courses, you’ll need to complete these steps:

  • Complete the initial setup in AP Registration and Ordering and select the option indicating that your school plans to administer AP Exams.
    • New: On the BigFuture School and Connections™ screen during setup, AP coordinators at eligible schools can enable access to these new opportunities for AP students. Learn more.
  • Create an exam only section for each subject for which you’ll be administering exams. 
  • Provide students with the appropriate join code for the exam only section.
  • Be sure that students enroll in the exam only section for each AP Exam they’ll be taking at your school.
  • Ensure students enroll in exam only sections to gain access to AP Classroom and the AP Digital Portfolio (if applicable).
  • Organize your exam roster, ensuring that exams for every student who plans to test this year are included in your exam order. 
  • Submit your exam order by November 13 (11:59 p.m. ET).
  • By March 12, submit any changes to your initial exam order.

Please see the AP Coordinator’s Manual, Part 1 for more information.
