Schools That Don’t Administer AP Exams

If you’re the AP coordinator for a school that offers AP courses but doesn’t administer AP Exams—i.e., your students go to other schools to take their exams—complete these steps:

• Complete initial setup in AP Registration and Ordering and select the option indicating that your students’ AP Exams will be ordered by another school or your district office.
• Complete the AP Participation Form.
• Create class sections for each AP class offered at your school so AP teachers can utilize AP Classroom resources with their students.
• Students will need to enroll in both the applicable class sections at your school for the AP courses they’re taking and in the exam only sections at the school where they’ll take exams.
  • For class sections at your school: AP teachers should provide students with the appropriate join code to enroll in the class section for each course offered at your school. Make sure the Order Exam? status is No for the students in these class sections.
  • For the exam only sections: The AP coordinator for the school where students will be taking AP Exams needs to provide the join code for each exam only section.

Note: Test centers outside the United States may have additional local procedures for students to register to take AP Exams.
