Senior AP Makeup*

 

*Senior AP Makeup: This slot is reserved for seniors who do not meet the A/A- final exemption and decide to forfeit taking the AP exam for: AP CSA, AP CSP, AP English Lit, AP Psych, and AP science for students who have a final during the Science block. If a student requires more than 1 of these exams, the Academics Office will coordinate with them individually. 

→ Seniors who forfeit taking AP Macro, AP Govt, AP science courses (1 science only), AP math courses, or AP world language courses and who do not meet the A/A- exemption will take those exams during the relevant department exam block. 

**Reminder: It is the expectation that students will defer travel until exams conclude. If a conflict for a funeral or other serious event should come up, permission to delay exams must be sought from Ms. Friedsam, Vice Principal of Curriculum & Instruction.

 

Senior Final Exemption Deadline: Friday, May 8 

If a senior has an A or A- by Friday, May 8, they are not required to complete the final project or exam for the course.

If you have questions or have any pressing rescheduling issues please reach out and we’re happy to help.
