• IB and AP Exam Policy

    The following WCSD policy will be applied to all students registered in an IB (or AP) course. ALL requirements must be met before the IB (or AP) designation is awarded and recorded on a transcript.
    Students are registered for IB (or AP) exams each fall.

    • All WCSD students enrolled in an IB or AP course are required to take the exam in that course per Administrative Regulation 6501; therefore, students registered in AP and IB classes will be automatically registered for the course exam unless direct communication has been made to the IBDP/AP Coordinator. AP students who do not show up to their exam will lose their $40 deposit. 
    • Students must be registered for ALL IB exams before the first IB deadline in NOVEMBER. Students making changes to their IB registration (dropping a class, changing courses, adding courses) after this deadline will pay an IB amendment fee. Prices increase further after November 14, January 14, and April 14.
      • Students dropping an IB exam after January 14 will not receive a refund for that exam.
    • Students wishing to maintain the IB designation on their transcripts, and obtain the IB weighting of the course must complete all components required by IB (including all IA’s, exams, orals, presentations, labs, etc.).
