It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that students meet all prerequisite requirements for an Advanced Placement (AP) course. Schools will also provide students with textbooks and any supplementary resources needed for these courses. School administrators and/or counselors should make students aware of their option to take AP exams, inform them of available AP exam review materials, notify them of the date for the administration of each exam, and order and administer the exams in accordance with College Board policy.

We will continue to use the ZOOM format to broadcast our Virtual Field Trips. Create a free account and download the ZOOM app from the Apple Store or Google Play to your computer. Each session has an individual Meeting ID and a Passcode, so that we can avoid issues with others trying to disrupt the session. Check with your technology coordinator to see what options you might have to display the conference on a TV or big screen. You may need a stand-alone mic if your computer does not have one. If you’d like to do any testing, you may contact the Alabama Supercomputer Help Desk at 800-338-8320.
