AP Exam Registration

The Advanced Placement exams will be offered by Rochester Community Schools off-site at Oakland University with the exception of a few other exams, such as the World Language exams and Studio Art (check the AP schedule for exact locations). Students scoring well on the AP exam(s) may potentially waive college requirements or receive college credit. Students should check the individual university they plan to attend to verify their AP policy either by going on the college website or by contacting the college directly. If there are any questions regarding the AP exams, the students should consult their counselor, building AP Coordinator, or AP teacher.

Refund Policy

As a general policy, there are no refunds for AP exams. Students that sign up for an AP exam have made a commitment to properly prepare for the test. Therefore, feeling unprepared will not be considered as a reason for a refund.

Should a student drop his/her AP course after the first semester and decide not to take the AP exam, a refund will be issued less the $40 College Board cancellation fee. If an unexpected circumstance out of the students control were to arise, please see your counselor or AP coordinator at your high school.

This policy may be revisited should there be a change to College Board’s AP testing administration or in extreme circumstances affecting all students and exam administration.
