AP - Blog 10 and 11 - College Board log in and Breadth

You will need to set up your access to the AP® Studio Art Digital Submission Web application – by Friday, April 11  If you are absent on this day, your access is still due.

Digital Submission Web Application
http://apstudio.ets.org

School Code: 111937       Teacher key: tvv7929
Also, all work for the Breadth section must be uploaded by Friday, April 18.  This is a project grade.  20 points per day will be deducted per day for late work.  If you are absent on this day, this section is still due.  The Breadth section should be completely full, and all photos should be edited.  Occasionally, you will have to reduce the file size so that it will accept the work.  This process can take a couple of hours.  Do not wait until the last minute!

May 9 is the deadline for the submission of completed digital portfolios (all 3 sections). 

If students will be submitting Drawing or 2-D Design portfolios, May 9 is also the deadline for the assembly of physical portfolios.  3-D students may select their Quality works from the Concentration and Breadth sections.  Works may not be duplicated in the Concentration and Breadth sections in either the Drawing, 2-D or 3-D portfolios.

If you fail to complete your AP portfolio, you will fail the AP Art class for the last 9 weeks.

If you have questions or are having difficulty accessing the application, please contact AP Services immediately by phone at 877-274-6474 (toll free in the United States and Canada) or 609-771-7300, or by email at apexams@info.collegeboard.org.
