Digital Device Access

Connecting students to college opportunity is our top priority. While most schools are planning to offer in-school paper and pencil AP Exams this year, some students will need to take digital AP Exams. We're teaming up with Connection, a global IT solutions provider, to make laptops and hotspots available for students who truly don't have access to a supported school-issued or personal device for digital AP Exams. Visit AP Central for more information about requesting devices for your students.
