Online AP Score Reporting for Schools |
The College Board is actively developing an online AP score delivery system for secondary schools and districts, which could be available as early as summer 2010. With online score delivery, authorized AP teachers will have direct access to student score reports, score rosters, and AP Instructional Planning Reports. This system will deliver the same score information as the current paper reports and rosters, but in a more flexible and environmentally friendly format. Users will be able to print entire reports or only selected pages, and to save reports to a local computer. Additional information about online score reporting will be e-mailed to authorized AP teachers in advance of the system's launch.

Annual Renewal of Authorized AP Courses
|
AP teachers should ensure that previously authorized AP courses are renewed online by a school administrator for the 2009-10 school year. Teachers can check the status of their AP courses by logging into their accounts on the AP Course Audit website.
