STUDENT AP NUMBER ENTRY
Instruct Students to Enter Their AP Numbers into the AP Digital Portfolio • Students will receive AP Student Packs in early April. Each Student Pack contains a unique AP number
that students should use for all AP Exams that they take in a given school year.
• Students can enter in their AP number by logging in to the AP Digital Portfolio and navigating to the Overview page within their class summary.
• Students must enter an AP number into the digital portfolio in order for their work to be sent to the College Board. All performance tasks that a student has submitted as final will automatically be sent to the College Board on April 30, as long as an AP number is associated with the digital portfolio account.
• Students should take extra care when entering in their AP number. AP numbers that are incorrectly entered may result in delayed score reporting.
• Students should never use an AP number from a prior year and students should never share their AP number with another student.
• Once an AP number has been entered, it can be changed to a different number if the existing number is found to be incorrect. The existing AP number cannot be removed without being replaced by a different, valid, AP number.
Instruct Students to Indicate Permission to Reuse Written Performance Materials • Students also have the opportunity to indicate whether they provide the College Board permission to
reuse their work for educational research and instructional purposes.
• AP students must indicate permission to reuse during all AP end-of-course exams, as well.

• Students can indicate their permission by logging in to the AP Digital Portfolio and navigating to the Overview page.
Monitor Student AP Number Entries via the Progress View • Important: In order for student submissions and scores in the digital portfolio to be sent to College
Board, the student must submit their work as final and enter their AP number.
• Starting in April, the Progress view will reflect whether or not the student has entered their AP numbers.
• To monitor your students, navigate to the Progress view. The Name / Status column will reflect the student’s AP number entry status.
1. Students that are in orange with ‘Needs AP #’ have not entered their AP numbers. Work submitted as final by these students will NOT be sent to College Board unless AP numbers are entered.
2. Students that are in white have entered their AP numbers. All work submitted as final by these students will be sent to College Board.
