AP Course Registration
All Jesuit students who are enrolled in AP classes for the 2024-25 school year are required to complete the College Board’s online AP course registration process on Registration Day. AP students should report to Computer Lab 3 with the email address they have used in the past to access any College Board information, such as PSAT or AP scores, SAT registration, etc. If they have never logged into the College Board, they should know the email address they intend to use for college correspondence.
Please be aware that this process does not register students to take the APExam, but simply to officially enroll in the AP class with the College Board. AP Exam registration information will be sent via email in the early fall.
Note: If a student is not enrolled in an AP class but believes that he wishes to take an AP exam in the spring, he should proceed with Registration Day as he has in the past. During the first few weeks of school, there will be specific times announced during homeroom when he can speak to the AP Coordinator about the AP Exam process and registration timeline.
Textbooks
Once again, textbooks will be purchased online. Information regarding the ordering of textbooks online through MBS was sent out by Mrs. Helen Swan along with student schedules. Please contact Mrs. Swan at swan@jesuitnola.org if you have any questions regarding schedules or textbook orders.
