STEP 1: Join AP Classroom
All AP students MUST join AP Classroom (https://myap.collegeboard.org/login) using your College Board (CB) account. AP teachers will provide a unique Class Join Code to use when registering for their class on the site. You must join each AP Classroom for each AP course you are enrolled in, even if you do not plan to take the AP exam in that course. If you are in a spring semester course, you will wait until the spring to get your Join Code.
Tip: Do not use your school email, use a personal email that you check regularly.
Need assistance with your College Board account?
If you have trouble joining AP Classroom, gaining access to your CB account, or have been unsuccessful in creating an account, call the College Board Student Help Line at 888-225-5427.
STEP 2: Completing Registration & Paying for AP exams (November 1, 2025 Deadline for Fall and Yearlong Courses; spring courses will begin registration in January 2026):
