For many high schoolers, AP courses and exams are a be a big part of their school year. With every exam, schools are responsible for collecting and tracking the associated, required fee payment. Our continued partnership with the College Board’s AP exam fee payments provider program means that your district can easily accept AP exam payments through MySchoolBucks. This simplifies the process so parents can securely pay their students' fees online, and staff can manage fee tracking all in one place.
The College Board recently announced the order deadline dates for the 2024-25 school year. The preferred deadline is October 4, 2024 with the fall deadline on November 15th, 2024. Spring course orders and fall changes are due March 14th, 2025. It's important to consider these dates in your planning for collecting fees so important deadlines are not missed. The MySchoolBucks team is here to help your coordinators get everything set up in MySchoolBucks to streamline payments in a platform your parents already know and trust. For more information, visit the AP Central's exam order page.
“This year there was no burden of collecting fees in person, keeping track of payments, making deposits, and determining who had still yet to pay. We are only a year in using MySchoolBucks for collecting fees, however I wish I had done it much sooner!"

Two Ways to Collect AP Exam Fees:
- Invoice parents based on AP class enrollment: Assign or upload fees to students in MySchoolBucks to automatically invoice parents for payment. With invoicing, parents will automatically be notified when it’s time to pay an associated exam fee and you can send reminders emails has the deadlines approach.
- Add exam fees to an online store for easy checkout: Another easy option is to add this fee right to your MySchoolBucks store. There, parents can simply add the item to their cart and check out using the payment type connected to their account.
