College Board AP Course Audit - Why? When? What?
Instructions for German Teachers
To receive authorization from the College Board to label a 2007-08 course "AP," each AP teacher must submit two important documents related to the course:

  • the subject-specific AP Course Audit form and
  • a course syllabus

Principals will receive user account information to share with teachers, and instructions for using the Web site, in the mail in January 2007. A demo of the AP Course Audit Web site will also be made available on AP Central in fall 2006 to guide teachers and principals through this process.

Timeline

June 1, 2007
Deadline for Submitting AP Course Audit Materials for 2007-08 Courses
Schools may submit their materials after the June 1 deadline; however the College Board cannot guarantee that courses submitted for review after this deadline will be authorized in time to be included in the first edition of the ledger of authorized AP courses provided to colleges and universities in November 2007. Colleges and universities will be informed of subsequently authorized courses via periodic updates to the ledger.
