Registering for your 2024-2025 AP Courses

FPS Virtual Academy encourages all students to take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can often earn students college credit for their high school class, saving a significant amount on tuition.

For the 2025 AP exams, students at FPS Virtual Academy will be registering online. Online Exam registration is now open.  It is to your advantage to join your course through your CollegeBoard account as soon as possible so that you have access to resources that are available to you. 

Information on paying for the exam will be sent later and for those students taking a yearlong class, the deadline for paying for the exam will be in early November.  Only exams paid for by the deadline will be ordered.  Both steps must be completed in order to have AP exams ordered:

Step 1:  Register for the class and exam. Complete this step right away.  You will need to join your AP course using the join code provided by your teacher for the appropriate class. You can join all AP courses you plan to take this year at the same time to avoid having to do this on multiple occasions. This is done at https://myap.collegeboard.org/login . You will login with your existing CollegeBoard student account (if you have previously taken AP, PSAT, or SAT exams) or you will create a new College Board student account. If you have previously taken exams, use the same account and do NOT create a new account to assure that your exam scores are linked each year.

Step 2: Pay for your exam.  This step must be completed for any class a student is enrolled in during first semester/full-year classes by November 7 to assure that a test is ordered.  Each test will be $105. Students who receive free or reduced lunch are eligible for testing at a reduced price of $60.00 per test.  The ND Department of Public Instruction has provided some additional incentives/fee reductions for exams in STEM areas in the past years. If you/your student qualifies for any of these reductions, you will be reimbursed for this part of the exam fees after the exam is taken.  Students registering for AP tests after the deadline will be assessed a $40 late fee.  Students who sign up to test and do not test are charged a $40 cancellation fee. 

Begin the process by registering at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/171397. Here you will indicate both the AP courses you are taking this year and the exams you wish to take. Any exam fees will be paid online so   sure to have a debit card or credit card available before beginning registration. Paying online is a great way to make sure that payment has been made while avoiding mailing payment.

The Virtual Academy desires that every student be able to take their AP exams. Students requiring financial assistance should contact Mrs. Karen Moore, moorek@fargo.k12.nd.us, in the District Office to learn more.

Dual Credit Information

DC

Fargo Virtual Academy works with the North Dakota State College of Science to provide dual credit opportunities for students.  These courses are offered asynchronously and are taught by NDSCS instructors, with the exception of pre-calc which can be taken with our FPS instructor through Edgenuity.  Students must register for any dual credit course at the start of the semester.  Costs associated with dual credit courses are the responsibility of the student/family and are paid directly to NDSCS.  There are opportunities for fee reductions through the NDSCS Foundation and students on free/reduced lunch status are eligible to take one yearlong or two semester classes at no cost each year through a tuition assistance program under the Bank of North Dakota.  Below is a list of classes offered semester 2.
