2014 Advanced Placement Information for Parents and Students
The study for an AP exam as a culmination exercise is a worthwhile endeavor. Students
enrolled in AP courses are expected to take the AP exam. The policy regarding
issuance of credit is determined by the college or university you are applying to, and will
vary between institutions. Check with your college or university to see if credit will
be given for Advanced Placement Testing before you order an exam. Please visit
http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/apcreditpolicy/index.jsp
It is necessary for you to make a commitment prior to Wednesday, April 2nd so that we
can meet deadlines set forth by the Advanced Placement Program with regards to preregistration. The cost of each exam is $89.00. Late fees break down as follows:
$20 between 2 PM April 2nd & 2 PM April 11th
$70 between 2 PM April 11th & 2 PM April 17th
Thursday, April 17th is the last day you can register for an AP exam. If you qualify for
low income assistance, please register with a $15 check for each exam you intend to
take, and speak to Mr. Morris regarding state and federal rebates that may or may not
be available. The Advanced Placement registration form and schedule are available to
be downloaded on the school's daily bulletin or guidance websites. These forms (and
checks made payable to Chelmsford High School), can also be picked up and returned
to Jonathan Morris in Room# 106. You may also mail them to the following address:
Chelmsford High School
Attn: Jonathan Morris - Hawthorne House
200 Richardson Road
North Chelmsford, MA 01863

REFUND POLICY

If a student registers for an exam and cancels before 2 PM April 2ND, a full
refund will be issued (the check and registration can be handed back to the student).

If a student is registered for an exam and cancels between April 2ND and April
11th a refund of $65 will be issued (in approximately 6-8 weeks).

After April 11th, no portion of the fee is refundable. According to College
Board, “You may ask for a refund if you do not begin an exam for which you have paid.
Local school policy determines the amount of the refund. You will probably be required
to pay the fee the school is charged for each unused exam. Once you begin an exam —
that is, write on an exam booklet or answer sheet — you cannot receive a refund.” This
statement from College Board applies to schools that do not utilize pre-registration!
Chelmsford High School utilizes earlier deadlines to ensure appropriate proctor
coverage, room usage, pre-registration, and eliminate scheduling conflicts within the
school. Please review the schools you have applied to and their score acceptance
policy prior to registration!

Special Circumstance Procedures as set forth by the ETS
If you need to order an alternate exam, see Jonathan Morris in Room 106
Early Testing:
-Is NOT permitted under any circumstance.
Illness: If your child is ill, an alternate test will be arranged if:
-The illness occurs prior to administration of the exam
-You have a doctor’s note
If your child is in school the day of the exam he/she will be expected to take the exam.
-Be sure to contact the AP Coordinator Jonathan Morris, so an alternate exam
may be ordered.
Alternate Exams are permitted as outlined below:
-CHS/MIAA Athletic or Academic Contests
-An additional $55.00 is charged by College Board for each alternate exam to cover
costs to prepare and grade these exams.
-Late/alternate testing is not permitted for senior class trips, assemblies, family
vacations or family graduations.
From the College Board AP Handbook:
“Occasionally extreme circumstances may make it necessary for a particular exam to be
administered late to an individual student or a group of students. Only students
affected by these circumstances may test late; everyone else must take the exam at
the set time on the regularly scheduled date. The College Board develops alternate
forms of each exam that are used only for late testing. All students who participate in
late testing at a given school must take these alternate exams on the scheduled
alternate testing dates at the scheduled times. Early testing is not permitted under any
circumstances. When the cause of late testing is generally beyond the control of the
school and the students, there is no additional fee for using the alternate form of the
exam. In other instances, however, where the school or students have a choice
between testing on the scheduled date or requesting an alternate date, the school is
billed an additional $55 per student for each exam to partially defray costs. Your AP
Coordinator will take care of all the details. If you test late, your grades may be delayed
up to a month (August release), and your free-response booklets will not be available.”
Please retain this information for your records, and tear off the completed registration
form to hand in at CHS.
