Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, the AP Program is introducing new
resources and processes designated to help students earn college credit and
placement. Please note, this is not a new Berkeley High policy but a
completely new way that College Board is managing AP courses and test sign
ups this year.



Here’s what you and your student need to know:



   -

   Students in AP classes must register with College Board if not already. In
   the past, students registered in early Spring; however, the College Board
   has shifted exam registration to the fall. AP Exams will continue to be
   given in May.
   -

   At Berkeley High School, the process will be:
   -

      Students sign into or create a new account with College Board at
      www.collegeboard.org if not already.
      -

      Students join their AP teachers classroom using a code and are
      automatically signed up for the test. If students will not take the exam,
      they must notify their classroom teacher by November 15.
      -

      Beginning October 7th -November 15th students will pay for their AP
      exams through Total Registration at
      https://www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/050290
      <https://www.totalregistration.net/AP/050290>  without a late fee. Please
      note: Late fees will be charged after November 15th, however the
      system is open until December 15th.


   -

   In April 2020, students will receive information about their specific
   exams.
