AP Announcement

AP Registration Closes March 1, 2025

A very important AP date is one month away. March 1, 2025 is the last day that students can register late for an AP exam (with an additional $40 late fee) and it is also the last day that students can request a refund if they no longer wish to take an AP exam (minus a $40 unused exam fee). Spring semester-only courses (AP Macroeconomics and AP Psychology) are the only exception to this. Regular registration for spring semester-only courses closes March 1, 2025 and there is no late registration for these courses.)

If students want to check if they are registered, they should sign-in to their College Board accounts. Contact shane.noecker@isd728.org with any questions, and please consult the RHS AP 2024-2025 Important Dates slides for more information.

• Many schools will only allow students from the schools participating in the game to attend the game and require a Student ID to enter. Students should have their Student ID with them or be able to pull up their Student ID on their phone when attending a school event/game.
• Many schools require middle school students to be accompanied by an adult for the entire time they are at the event/game.
