AP EXAM REGISTRATION FOR 2018
Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School students will be registering for AP exams online using Total Registration. Registration will take only a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access. You will be asked to create a login account so that you will have the ability to reprint your confirmation ticket and add or delete exams, if necessary.
To register for AP Exams, please visit www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/
When filling out the online form please be sure to select all of your exams and the appropriate teachers. If everything is correct, click "Confirm your Registration". This will record your registration and display the confirmation page. When you reach the confirmation page, print two copies- one for your records and the other to return to school with your payment. Each AP exam costs $94.00 and must be paid before we order exams. A fee reduction is available for families that meet federal guidelines but must be approved in advance. A letter from a parent documenting financial need is required. Please see Dr. Loving in the School Counseling office by Friday, February 16 to inquire about a fee waiver.
Here are the important dates:
Remember, you must present both your registration form and complete payment. Checks should be made out to “MLW Governor’s School”.
Attention Seniors! If you know which college you will be attending in the fall, please carefully review the college's AP credit policy to determine if the college will accept AP credit for the program in which you are enrolling.
Questions? Please see Dr. Loving in the Counseling office or email her at rloving@gsgis.k12.va.us
