Foothill High School's AP Policy

• Regular registration period for AP Exams starts on October 9, 2024 (8:00 AM) through November 9, 2024 (midnight).  

• Late registrations will be accepted from November 10, 2024 until January 30th, 2025 (midnight) with a $55 late fee per AP exam.

• Exams are only available for courses offered in Pleasanton Unified School District.  The fee is $119 per exam.

• AP exams have limited availability for those that would like to self-study for the exam. Those enrolled in the course at their school site will have priority and those who wish to self-study will be given spots based on availability.  Students who self-study will be informed by February 1, 2025 if there is availability to test at their home school.

• Test cancellation requests can be made through the Total Registration website. Full refunds are provided for exams canceled by 11/9/2024 midnight.  Exams canceled between 11/10/2024 and 01/30/2025 midnight are eligible for a $55 refund for each exam canceled.   No refunds are granted for any exams canceled after 01/30/2025.

• Students will need to register on the College Board website. In order to register, students must use the unique join codes you received from your AP teachers. You will need a personal email for each student account (it is not recommended to use PUSD Gmail accounts). Each teacher and each teacher’s period has a specific join code for the course AP exam. If you don't already have a College Board account, you will need to make one. If you plan to take multiple AP exams, you will need a specific join code per course per teacher per period. 

• Students must also pay for the exam on the Total Registration site, www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/052497.  Follow the PUSD registration flowchart to ensure your registration is complete.  If you already created an account last year, please use the same account log in and email.

• If two exams are given at the same time, we will notify the student which exam will be taken during the regular testing window and which exam will be taken during the alternate testing window.
• Conflicts must be pre-approved for late testing and a late fee will apply. Requests can be made through https://tinyurl.com/PUSDlateAP
• Students qualifying for the free/reduced lunch program are eligible for a fee waiver.  Please provide your PUSD fee waiver approval form from PUSD Child Food and Nutrition Services. Send your approval letter to Mr. Valencia via email.
• Specifics room assignments, arrival times and testing materials will be provided in the spring of 2025.
• Make-up (late) testing will occur May 19-23, 2025.  If a student is unable to sit for their exam, it is the students responsibility to communicate with their AP Coordinator before the exam start time to request a make-up exam.  Make up exams are not guaranteed and may require a doctor's note.
