Central High School's AP Policy

Thanks for signing up to take your AP Exam! Studies show that just by sitting for the exam students are more likely to graduate from college in four years regardless of their score. It also may be the least expensive college credit you ever earn! Here are some really important things to remember:

  • You can cancel your exam for a full refund before November 15th. After November 15th, there is a $40 unused exam fee that will come out of your refund. Students who do not show up for their exam will be charged the unused exam fee. 
  • There are alternate test dates available if you are not able to attend the first exam date. Depending on the reason for the alternate test date, there may be an additional $40 fee. If you feel like you may need an alternate test date please let Liza Hines in counseling know ASAP. 
  • If you believe you may qualify for testing accommodations please inform your teacher and Liza Hines ASAP. 
  • Some exams are given at WCCC. The school will be in communciation with you about the time and location of your exam. Students are responsible for transportation.
