Managing Fee Collection

Payment is due to College Board by June 15 (postmark deadline)—not at the time of ordering. Schools determine how and when to collect and track exam payment.

As you approach your fee collection planning this year, consider how your school and district plan on collecting other school fees, how you track payments, and how you’ll issue refunds if any students cancel their exams.

The deadline for the AP coordinator to indicate students who are eligible for the College Board fee reduction is April 30, 2025. Learn more about AP Exam fee reductions.
