ATTENTION! Students and guardians should complete this registration/enrollment together. This is a two-step process and both steps MUST be completed to access the AP Classroom resources and/or order AP Exams. The entire process (both steps) can be completed in a single sitting in approximately 10 minutes.

1. Complete the registration process that starts below.
2. Enroll all your AP courses and exams in the College Board's MyAP system with the Join Codes you will receive at the end of this registration process.

AP Year-long courses and AP courses that begin 1st Semester

• The deadline for ordering AP exams is Thursday, November 2, 2023. 
• There is no cost for enrolling in AP courses, but the 2024 AP Exams cost $102 per exam.  
• Please keep in mind if you register for an AP exam after Thursday, November 2, 2023, there will be a $40 late fee in addition to the exam fee.  Students will be responsible for this late fee, even if their exam fee is covered by a school program.  (The late fee is charged by College Board for ordering late.  Please read our refund policy as well.)

AP exam registrations that are not fully paid by Thursday, November 2, 2023 for 1st Semester and Year-Long classes will be canceled and exams will not be ordered.   Please keep in mind when a student enrolls in an AP course in AP Classroom, the student's exam order defaults to Yes.  The exam order will be changed to No if both steps are not completed.  Please contact Felicia Becnel at feliciabecnel@gisd.org with any questions.  This applies to any AP course that is a year-long or any AP course that begins 1st semester.

Late Fees for exams for year-long courses and courses that begin 1st semester (Full-Year and First Semester-Courses):

Registrations made after 11:59PM, Thursday, November 2, 2023 will incur a $40 late fee per exam.   The deadline to order an exam with a late fee is 11:59PM, Thursday, March 7, 2024.

Students transferring to Ball High School after registration deadlines are exempt from late fees.

Late fees are NOT by covered Galveston Career Connect (GCC).  Payment of additional fees is the sole responsibility of the student.  If you are a Galveston Career Connect (GCC) student, and you sign up for an AP exam, but are absent on test day, you will be responsible for the $40 unused test fee charged by College Board.

Students who are part of Galveston Career Connect (GCC) will have their AP exams paid for by the program.  Please indicate whether you are part of this program when registering through Total Registration for your AP exams.  We will verify your enrollment in the GCC program, and then provide you with a fee waiver for the exam fees. If you indicate you are part of the program, but are not, then a fee waiver will not be provided, and the student will be responsible for the exam fee(s).  Any information will be communicated to the student through their school email and the email provided in signing up with Total Registration.

A confirmation page indicates that the first step has been completed. The confirmation page will include the information needed to complete the second step of enrolling courses/exams in the College Board's system, MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. This step should be completed right away as exams will not be ordered if both steps are not completed.

Ball High School is excited to offer families the ability to pay their exam fees online at the time of registration. Please be sure to have a credit card or debit card available before beginning registration.

Please contact Ms. Felicia Becnel, feliciabecnel@gisd.org if you would like to register for an exam not listed, have questions about financial assistance, or any other questions.
