P. A. 101-180 requires all Illinois public high school students to complete either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid (Alternative Application) as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. Additionally, high schools are expected to provide students and their families with any support or guidance necessary to comply with the requirement. For students who choose not to file an application, a waiver may be completed by their parent. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) makes available through their website a FAFSA Nonparticipation Form (English and Spanish) for this purpose. Check out our FAFSA Update for more information.
Students are reminded to activate their free score send by the June 20 deadline. Every year that you take an AP® Exam, you have the option to send one score report for free to the college, university, or scholarship organization of your choice. Score reports include both this year's and past AP Exam scores unless you choose to withhold or cancel a score.
AP Exam scores will be available starting Monday, July 6.
Check that you can sign in to your College Board account.
Make sure that you remember your login credentials by signing in before scores are released in July. This is the same account that you use to access My AP , BlueBook or other College Board resources.
Make sure we have your current email address.
If you’ve changed your email address, update it in your account.
Don’t create a new account if you already have one.
