Advanced Placement information

If your teen is enrolled in an Advanced Placement (AP) class this year, your child is embarking on an enriching journey. This course not only prepares your child for a college-level course exam at the conclusion of the year but also equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary for higher education. The College Board cites that three out of four AP students enrolled in a four-year college start school with some college credit, a testament to the academic rigor and value of the AP program. 

It's important to note that students must decide and sign up for AP tests prior to November 2025. To register for each AP exam, students must sign up and pay a minimum nonrefundable payment of $40.00 to www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/030144  before December 1st. Late fees incur an additional $40.00 fee for registering for exams after the November deadline. Students can sign up for exams at https://myap.collegeboard.org/ and pay the registration fee at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/030144. 

If your child is signed up for additional exams after paying the minimum $40, the remaining $40 for each additional exam must be paid before March 6, 2026. Payments made incrementally to www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/030144 have a small fee per installment. This payment structure is designed to make the cost of the exams more manageable for families. 

Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch or students requiring financial assistance should not hesitate to contact the Curriculum Assistant Principal, Mrs. Cassie Hauck at 602-467-6735 or email administrative assistant Yvette.Krumland@dvusd.org for an appointment.  We are here to support your child's academic journey and ensure that financial constraints do not hinder their opportunities.
