How Do I Enroll?

Once you've decided to take the AP challenge it's easy to enroll.

  • Talk to an AP teacher or your counselor at your school about the course you want to take. Discuss the course's workload and any preparation you might need.
  • If you are a homeschooled student or attend a school that doesn't offer AP, you can still participate. Each year hundreds of students participate through independent study. Some states even sponsor online AP courses.
