Students taking AP Courses are required to join their AP classes on the College Board website. Teachers use these online resources for some of their class assignments. In order to join their class, they must obtain a Join Code from their teachers.

Prior to Joining Your Class: Create a College Board Account

• All students need to have a College Board account in order to register for AP classes and exams.
• Students should go to collegeboard.org and click on the Sign Up button to create an account.
• This account should be created by the student and utilizes a non-school e-mail address. This account will follow you after your high school career.
• If you already have a College Board account, ensure that you can log-in successfully.
• DO NOT create multiple College Board accounts. If you need help accessing your account, please visit their Account Help Page.

Join AP Classes in College Board

• Log into your College Board account and go to AP Student.
• Students should click on the yellow “Join a Course or Exam” button and enter the unique Join Code provided to them by their teacher. Follow the steps to complete registration.
• IMPORTANT: The information entered here will be entered onto answer sheets for any AP exams taken. Make sure the information is entered accurately.
• Students cannot join their classes without their Join Codes. This should be completed for all AP courses by September 4th, 2024.

The 2025 AP Exams will be administered between May 5 - May 16, 2025.  All exams except AP Music Theory, AP Spanish Literature and AP Spanish Language will now be in a digital or hybrid format.

Southern Lehigh High School does not register students for exams or take payment.  Ordering and payment will be done completely through the online services, Total Registration and through the student’s College Board account.

This year each AP exam costs $103.00.
