You must join your class' AP Online Classroom to complete the exam registration process.

You MUST join the AP classroom using the join code that your teacher gives you.

Please note that this is NOT the Google classroom your teacher may have set up for you. If you have problems or questions, please ask your teacher or Mr.Clintberg in room 110.
Across all ECSD schools that offer Advanced Placement, AP students must pay a $150 fee. For most students, this will be assessed as $75 in grade 11 and again $75 in grade 12.
This fee offsets the additional costs of...
AP text books
resources
lab equipment
teacher professional development
the AP exams
Please note that since this is not just an exam fee, and no money will be refunded even if the student chooses to not write the AP exam(s). Also, there are no additional fees if a student is taking multiple AP exams, including over multiple years at O'Leary.
