Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Fee(s)
AP exam payment for spring semester AP courses (Economics, Government & Psychology) is January 23 through February 9. Exam fees are available in Online School Fees beginning January 23. Payment finalizes the student’s AP exam registration.
Students in a fall or full year AP course who have not paid for their exam can pay by contacting their Campus Testing Facilitator by February 9. There is a $50 late fee per exam.
AP Exam refund requests must be made by February 9. Refunds will be returned in the form of credit to the student's OnlineSchoolFees account, minus a $50 unused exam fee, and can be used for future purchases.
To make a late payment or request a refund, please contact Campus Testing Facilitator, Christina Wills at willsc@friscoisd.org.
February 9 is the FINAL AP registration, payment and refund request deadline for Frisco ISD. There will be no exceptions. (Note: This date is prior to the date given by College Board, but due to the volume of testing and processing time, this date is the final deadline for all FISD students.)
For more information about AP Exams, go to FISD Advanced Academics.
ATTENTION JUNIORS AND SENIORS - ACADEMIC PATCHES
The Academic Patch applications are now available in the registrar's office (A123). If you have earned a cumulative 4.5 GPA or higher for a minimum of five semesters of high school coursework, with at least one being in Frisco ISD, you qualify for an academic patch for your high school letter jacket. If you are interested in receiving this patch, download the application form here, fill it out, and turn it in on the Front Office.
Please Note: The Letter Jacket is not purchased through the registrar's office. That is handled in the Athletic Department.
