Greetings, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge International Coordinators!

It's almost here - Winter Break is upon us! And with this brief update, we just wanted to send a couple of things to think about as you settle in for a much-needed break. We hope you enjoy time with family, friends, and whatever you love doing most. Enjoy a wonderful holiday season, and may you return in January rested, relaxed, and rejuvenated! In this quick update, we share information regarding:

• Teacher Performance Bonuses for May 2025 AP/IB/CIE exams
• Master Course Code List for 2026-2027
• Deadlines and Reminders from the NC AP Partnership

Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of service to you. Thank you for providing advanced learning opportunities and ensuring access to fulfill North Carolina's goal of broadening student access and successful participation in advanced coursework.

Happy Holidays!

Beth Cross and Rodney Allen

As we close out 2025 and prepare for the May 2026 AP Exam administration, please review two critical January deadlines. Your NCAPP team will also share this information directly with each school’s AP Coordinator, but we want to ensure you are aware of these key dates.

January 16, 2026 – Deadline to Submit Accommodations Requests

SSD coordinators must submit accommodations requests, and all required supporting documentation in SSD Online by this date.

• SSD processing can take up to seven weeks, and approvals occur on a rolling basis.
• Please note: If a coordinator misses this deadline, accommodations may not be approved in time for exam materials.

SSD guidelines and instructions can be found here.

January 31, 2026 – Deadline to Submit AP Course Audit Materials

This final deadline applies to:

• Initial AP Course Audit submissions for new courses and for teachers new to your school or to an AP course – this includes ALL second semester AP teachers
• All renewals, including second-semester AP courses
• Removal of teachers/courses
• Addition of online/distance learning courses

If teachers do not complete their required submissions by January 31, they will lose access to AP Classroom, and this access cannot be restored. We will advise AP Coordinators to ensure all AP teachers—including second-semester teachers—have completed the AP Course Audit and that a school administrator has approved each submission.

AP Course Audit information and instructions can be found here.

As always, please reach out to your NCAPP support contact (Michelle, Ryan, or Laura) with any College Board questions.  We appreciate you!
