Note: EKU will continue to accept AP scores using the test-at-home method utilized during the pandemic.
The Advanced Placement Program consists of courses of study and special examinations open to junior and senior high school students. High schools administer the AP exam during the month of May. EKU receives scores during the first week of July.
AP exams are scored and reported to EKU by The College Board educational testing service. A high school student must choose EKU as their score recipient in order for the scores to be reported to EKU.
Information about the Advanced Placement Program may be found on the College Board website.
