AP Important Dates
Students must have a College Board account and enter a join code for any AP course that has an exam they wish to take in May. Students must pay for their AP exams using the BSD Touchbase payment system. Once paid, the student’s exam is included in the school exam order submitted to the College Board. Students can be assured that they have registered and paid for the exam by accessing My AP in their College Board account to see the exam icon and by checking Touchbase history to see they have paid.
