AP Exam Registration – Extended through November 8.

As you know, College Board adjusted the registration window for AP exams from spring to fall.  Marriotts Ridge has communicated these changes through Back to School Night, AP teachers, Today’s Topics, and the school’s homepage. As a result of the new timeline, AP Exam Registration opens on October 1^st and closes November 1^st. Any student who plans to take an AP exam in May must register during that window. Students received instructions through their teachers for how to register. These instructions are also available on the school’s homepage. Students must register in BOTH the MyAP Portal (which is new this year) and in Naviance (as they always have). The AP Portal is the only mechanism for ordering exams, and exams will only be ordered for students who go into the Portal and select the exams they want to take. They must do this for each exam, using the Join Code provided by their teacher. Naviance is how the school tracks payment, fee waivers, and permission for students to be off campus. It is essential the students complete both steps of the process. You can also find information on fees and exam location on the Marriotts Ridge homepage. If students have any questions, they can see Mrs. Scott in the Testing Office (next to room 249). You can also email Mrs. Scott at lisa_scott@hcpss.org.

Thank you for your understanding as we all navigate this new process.

Sincerely,

Lisa Scott

A.P. Coordinator
