AP Exam Accommodations:

Students who qualify for accommodations in their classes may qualify for accommodations during AP Testing. All accommodations must be approved by the College Board's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD).

College Board approval is required for every student - even those who receive accommodations in their classes. To check if your student may be eligible, refer to the College Board Page on eligibility. 

Students who have already been granted accommodations on the PSAT and SAT will have the same accommodations for their AP Tests. 

It is the family's responsibility to initiate this process - not the school. Please look at the following steps. 

1. Choose the accommodations.  Refer to the website to determine which accommodations your student would like to request on the College Board Website.

2. Complete the Student/Parent Consent Form for Accommodations Request. Forms are also available at Student Services desk. 

3. Submit the consent form, along with the list of the specific accommodations being requested, to Ms. Guinee in Student Services.
