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.
