Students with documented disabilities may be eligible for accommodations on AP Exams, such as:
To take an AP Exam with accommodations, a student must be approved for accommodations by the College Board Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) office. Providing accommodations to students without College Board approval will result in cancellation of these students' scores.
Most students work with the school's SSD coordinator to apply for accommodations before the AP Exam administration. The SSD coordinator requests and manages the accommodations through SSD online.
All requests for accommodations for this year's AP Exams and, when required, complete documentation must be submitted by the SSD coordinator through SSD Online by January 24, 2025.
To learn more about requesting accommodations and administering AP Exams with accommodations, visit College Board SSD.
There is a separate request process for a student who needs temporary assistance to complete an exam due to a temporary medical or physical condition (e.g., a broken hand). Requests must be submitted to SSD via the request form. Follow the instructions on the form.
At the beginning of the school year, work with your school's SSD coordinator to identify all students with approved or expected accommodations. When you order exams, you'll need to identify which students may require special AP Exam formats or materials.
