- Financial assistance is available through the registration process.
Step 2: Join Your AP Courses in College Board My AP
Log in to your College Board account and use the Join Code(s) provided through Total Registration to join your AP courses.
Your College Board account is used to access AP Classroom and your AP Exam information. Do not create a new account if you already have one.

Stand Out in College Admissions
Deciding to take an AP course lets colleges and universities know that you have what it takes to succeed in an undergraduate environment. When admissions officers see “AP” on your transcript, they know that what you experienced in a particular class has prepared you well for the challenges of college. Taking AP is a sign that you’re up for the most rigorous classes your high school has to offer.
Earn College Credits
By taking an AP course and scoring successfully on the related AP Exam, you can save on college expenses: most colleges and universities nationwide offer college credit, advanced placement, or both, for qualifying AP Exam scores. These credits can allow students to save college tuition, study abroad, or secure a second major. AP can transform what once seemed unattainable into something within reach.
AP Credit policies vary between and sometimes within institutions. For more information visit and search college's credit policy: www.collegeboard.org/.
