About the Annual AP Course Audit

"Schools develop their own curriculum for courses labeled 'AP.' The AP Course Audit, however, specifies

a set of expectations established by college and university faculty for college-level AP courses. Courses

that meet or exceed these expectations will be authorized to use the 'AP' designation."

How to Add Online Courses Taught by ALVS Teachers to Your College Board Profile

"To list online or distance learning AP courses as part of your school's official AP offerings each academic

year, your school will be able to select the authorized online or distance learning courses offered to your

students through the AP Course Audit Web site. These courses will then be included in your school's

profile in the ledger of authorized AP courses made available annually in November."

"Through the AP Course Audit Web site, AP Course Audit administrators are able to select the authorized

online/distance learning courses your school offers to its students each academic year. To do so, AP

Course Audit administrators should sign in to the AP Course Audit Web site, navigate to the 'Add Online

or Distance Learning Course' page, and select the authorized courses your school offers. These AP

courses will then be included with your school's other authorized courses in the AP course ledger."

How to Add Online Courses Taught by District Teachers to Your College Board Profile

The College Board requires that if a school wants its school name to appear on the College Board's list of

approved AP courses then that school must submit the courses they are using to the AP Course Audit for

approval, even if they are using courses such as those from Apex Learning that have already been

approved.

To do so, AP teachers should sign in to the AP Course Audit Web site, navigate to the ‘Add New Course’

page, and ‘Claim Identical’ when asked for the course syllabus. When taking the ‘Claim Identical’ option,

schools using Apex Learning AP courses must submit the Apex Learning syllabus number listed below

and an identical copy of the College Board approved syllabus. The College Board approved syllabi can

be obtained by contacting Apex Learning Support at support@apexlearning.com.
