Fees/Registration/Payment (Online)

PLEASE carefully read the Fee Options section before registering. 
       
Scroll down for Fee Options, How to Register, and Payment Information. 
  
Note: Registration and Payment are separate, but both essential, processes:. Register first and then make payment. We have no way to credit a payment without a registration on file. 

When registering, please note the following:

• The registration form should be completed by the participant, NOT by school personnel (administrative or clerical). In the past, this has been a primary source of errors in registrant data.

• When registering, please provide the information requested. For example, if a home phone number is requested, do not provide a school number (if we need to get ahold of you outside of school, we will be unable to). Providing a school address rather than a home address can result in your not receiving materials shipped to you.

• Please do not provide a school email address as your primary email unless you have no other option. School emails often have difficult to penetrate firewalls or are out of service in the summer. Most of our major communication problems occur when trying to contact participants via a school email. If you have one, personal email please!

Note: credit card information is collected on a Google Form. Some participants have expressed concerns about the security of submitting credit card numbers this way. The Google Form is a secure form (the prefix to the URL is “https” with the “s” standing for “secure”– non-secure websites usually have only an “http” prefix). The information submitted can only be accessed outside of Google servers, through a secure web spreadsheet, by the registered owner of the form (i.e., AP Seminars). We have been using this system for over five years now and have not had a single security incident with a credit card.
  
Of course, it is always possible that electronically transmitted data can somehow be hacked. We cannot guarantee that your information is 100% safe but are quite confident in the security of the system. If, in spite of these assurances, you are still concerned about the security of your credit card information when transmitted via a Google Form, you can use PayPal or contact Duane at Duane@APSeminars.com to discuss other options of getting your credit card information to AP Seminars.

If the participant declines this option, materials will arrive approximately two full weeks after registration is finalized.
 
• Shipping to non-USA addresses (optional) For participants residing outside of the United States, an electronic copy of the College Board APSI materials will be included with registration. There is also an option to receive a hard copy of the materials. Shipping to foreign countries is expensive. Accordingly, there is a $100 fee for shipping hard copies of CB materials to non-USA addresses (electronic copies are included).. Depending on location, shipping time is usually about one week (with quite a bit of variability). Non-USA participants registering and paying less than one month in advance of the start of the workshop may not receive their hard-copy College Board materials by the start of the workshop.
