College Board AP Exam Ordering Deadline Is November 13: Orders After That Date Carry a 40 Dollar Late Fee Per Exam, With a Second Deadline on March 12, 2027
The College Board's AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 1, for the 2026 to 2027 school year sets the final deadline for schools to submit AP Exam orders at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on November 13, 2026, covering exams for full year and first semester courses. The preferred ordering deadline was October 2, and new exams can be added and changes submitted without additional fees until November 13.
Each exam ordered after November 13 and until March 12, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, incurs an additional 40 dollar late order fee, with some exceptions. Courses that begin after November 13 follow the March 12, 2027 ordering deadline. No payment is due until June 15, 2027.
Under the manual, AP Exam registration takes place in the fall: students enroll in their class sections and register for exams through My AP, and the school's AP coordinator submits the order through AP Registration and Ordering. Exams are administered in May 2027. Individual schools may set earlier internal deadlines for their own students.
