Families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for exam fee waivers. Applications can be completed online at egusdschoolmeals.com.
Families who do not qualify through the meal program may still be eligible for a partial waiver through the Ed Benefits Form. All waiver forms must be submitted to the district by October 31.
There is a very small grace period after our payment window closes in which your testing status can be changed for no penalty. AP coordinators will be working with AP teachers to ensure that you have selected the choice that is right for you. However, after the grace period, if you need to change from taking an AP test to not taking an AP test (or vice versa), you will be charged a $40 fee.
The indecision fee is charged by CollegeBoard for any changes to test status once the grace period ends. EGUSD does not keep any part of the fee.
Ensure that you have joined your teacher's AP Classroom. To do so, visit https://myap.collegeboard.org/ and log in. If you've never used this site before, check out this page about creating an account.
Ask your teacher for the join code for your class, then click the button that reads "Join a Course or Exam." Type in the code your teacher gave you and viola! You've done it!
Note: When registering for a course after you receive your join code from your teacher, it will ask for your ID#. Be very careful that you put in your ID number correctly, as that is the primary way our AP Coordinators connect you to your test order.
Fill out the AP Commitment Form - In order to fill out this form, you must be logged in to your egusd.net account. You will be asked which tests you are planning on taking. You will only have a test ordered for you if you have BOTH joined your teacher's AP classroom AND indicated your interest by filling out commitment Form. If this Form is filled out multiple times, your latest entry (prior to our ordering deadline) will be used.
Contact Mr. Lumian (klumian@egusd.net) or Mr. Yang (steyang@egusd.net) to have them change your status.
Talk to your counselor. Then, following the discussion, complete the Course Level Change Form. Please be aware that the following criteria must be in place in order to initiate a level change for an AP course after 2 weeks :
There must be an opening in a receiving course and the overall schedule must be able to accommodate the change.
The student must explain the reason for the request.
A discussion between the student and teacher of record must take place.
Student and parent understand that the decision to drop an Advanced Placement class may have negative consequences with respect to competitive selection at four-year colleges and universities.
Contact Mr. Lumian (klumian@egusd.net) or Mr. Yang (steyang@egusd.net). You will likely have to pay the indecision fee of $40, but they can assist you in securing a test.
