EXAM REGISTRATION DEADLINES AND PROCEDURES
Step 1: Activate your Exam on MyAP – Students will activate their AP® Exams on the College Board MyAP system at http://myap.collegeboard.org by JOINING to the AP Classroom – Deadline to activate the exams on MyAP is September 16, 2025. An active College Board profile log in will be needed (see FAQs for more information.)
Step 2: Submit exam fees – Students will receive from APTS an email invoice on or around September 22, 2025, their customized exam fee invoices. Exam fees are due paid in full by October 15, 2025.
1. To activate an AP® Exam order for the May 2026 exam administration, students will log into their College Board profiles via http://myap.collegeboard.org and join the designated AP Classroom for each course with a join code – Deadline to Join is September 16, 2025.
To link their exam to their profiles, students will receive from each of their AP® teachers a Join Code (or access code). Join Codes are subject, teacher and class period specific.
The MyAP system will prompt students to complete a MyAP Profile – please make sure to enter your full legal name, the correct school of attendance, your student ID number, and your email address to enable receipt of important alerts from College Board and APTS.
Please see the FAQs for more information.
2. Payment submission for AP® exams will be done online through APTS. Students with active exam orders will receive on or around September 22, 2025 a custom digital invoice. Invoices will be emailed to the student email address on the student’s College Board profile.
Fees are due paid in full by October 15, 2025.
The fees due can be submitted either by online payment (credit or debit card), or via mailing in a check or money order. Instructions will be provided in the invoice.
Use of a credit or debit card to complete the online payment form will incur a 3.9% credit card processing fee. Students may choose to avoid that fee by mailing in a check or money order to the address provided in the invoice instructions. Mail in options should be payable to “APTS.” If you select this option, you must postmark your payment on or before October 11, 2025 to ensure timely processing.*
3. The cost per exam is $102, which includes the College Board exam fee and administrative fees. Without payment of the exam fees due, the student will not be allowed to sit for the May exam administration.
4. Students enrolled in AP® courses at LACHSA are required to sit for, pay for and take the exam that accompanies the course to earn the AP Designation on their LACHSA transcript. No cancellations or refunds are possible.
5. Per College Board regulations: students MAY NOT take both the AP® Calculus AB and the AP® Calculus BC exams in the same calendar year. In addition, only students who have completed the AP® Computer Science Principles required in-class assessment due to College Board on May 1 may sit for the May exam.
6. Fee reductions are possible for qualified students and will automatically be reflected on the student’s exam fee invoice. If you feel you may qualify for a fee reduction and have not received a reduced fee invoice, contact AP Coordinator Mr. Greg Baumann at baumann_greg@lacoe.edu. Approval requires applying for the Federal Free-Reduced Lunch program and may take several days so it is critical to apply early.
7. Exam day specifics will be communicated by the school closer to the exam administration date.
