  • NOVEMBER 15:  Last Day to Drop an AP Class Without a Fee

    Any requests to drop an AP class after this date will incur a $40.00 Unused Test Fee.


    Advanced Placement (AP)

    Advanced Placement (AP) courses are rigorous college level courses offered at high school through the College Board’s Advanced Placement program. All Pinellas County high schools offer a range of AP courses. Every student in Pinellas County Schools that takes an AP course will also take the national AP Exam at no charge.  Colleges and universities often award college credit for advanced course placement for AP exam scores of 3, 4, or 5 on a scale of 1 through 5. Each college has varying standards for scores as well as what type of credit they will award for a course.  For further information regarding college credits awarded based on AP exam scores, please review the Florida State University System (SUS) Credit by Exam Equivalencies document or visit the specific website for the University of your choosing.

    Please note:  AP Exams are ordered in November.  While students are not charged to sit for exam, they are responsible for cancellation fees ($40 per exam) that result from dropping an AP course after exams are ordered and/or the fees charged if they do not sit for the exam ($94 for most exams and $142 for an AP Seminar or AP Research exam).
