Registration & Transfers
The AP program is available to all students. Students interested in registering must submit all parts of their completed registration by March 15, 2021 for the 2021-22 school year. The
Advanced Placement Registration Information and Expression of Intent document summarizes the checklist of items required for registration, and provides additional information about AP at CBE.
Fourteen CBE high schools offer AP programming. If your regular designated high school offers your desired AP course(s), you will attend that school. Submit your registration to that school.
If your regular designated high school does not offer your desired AP course(s), you can request to transfer to a school that does. You will need to:
- Submit your registration to your designated Area school for the AP program.
- Review the High School Transfer information and submit a transfer request form by March 15. Where the form asks for the reason for the transfer, select Education Program. To complete the form, you will need to research which schools offer your desired AP course(s) and have an Open or Limited enrolment status. The school(s) you request also need to be located in your Area (see below).
For current Grade 10 or 11 students interested in transferring schools next year in order to enroll in AP, please contact the school for more information.
