College Board Login
Do not create another College Board account. You should already have an account, so please work with College Board directly if you cannot figure out your login information. Counselors are not able to assist with account login issues. Creating multiple accounts causes many issues with getting your scores.

All AP exams (with exception of those testing with accommodations) are held off campus and students are required to supply their own transportation. A testing schedule, location map, and location information will ONLY be EMAILED to students in April, using the email address they registered with in Total Registration. Please register with an email address that the student will regularly check, as all communication regarding exams will be done through email. Most exams take place at Heartland Community College, Eastview Christian Church, and ISU's Bone Student Center.

Exam Day Policies: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/takingtheexam/exam-policies/exam-day-policies
**UPDATED** Illness Policy for Late / Alternate AP Exams:
If a student is ill and misses their regularly scheduled AP exam, a late exam option will not be provided to the student unless the parent/guardian submits a doctor’s excuse note to Mrs. Kristi Chase, AP Coordinator, (chasek@unit5.org). The doctor’s note must be received before the late ordering deadline. We are not required to offer late AP exams. This policy will be strictly followed.
Late exam options will be discussed individually with students who have 2 exams at the same date AND time. If you have multiple AP exams on one day, the expectation is that you take both exams (per College Board). Late exam options can also be discussed individually with students who have athletic contests conflicting with their exam. Please notify Mrs. Chase in advance if this involves you.
The College Board has a set schedule for late AP exams.
