REMINDER- October 17 is the last day College Now students can drop a fall year-long course without a ‘W’ on their JCCC transcript.

Need to drop a course? All course drops must be completed by dropping the course online through MyJCCC or by emailing registrar_office@jccc.edu to obtain a schedule change request. JCCC does not allow courses to be dropped over the phone once the semester has begun.

Also, if you dropped a College Now Class at SW, you MUST also drop your class at JCCC. (If you don’t, you will receive an F on your JCCC transcript!)

For all AP Testings detail students/parents will need to visit the BVSW Counseling Canvas page:

Students taking AP courses/exams at Blue Valley Southwest must enroll/register by 7:00 am, November 1st. There is no cost for enrolling in AP courses, but the 2023 AP Exams cost $108 per exam. Exam registrations opened September 1st.

ATTENTION! Students and guardians should complete this registration/enrollment together.

This is a two-step process and both steps MUST be completed to order the AP Exams. The entire process (both steps) can be completed in a single sitting in approximately 10 minutes. Exam fee is $108 for each exam.

Blue Valley Southwest is excited to offer families the ability to pay their exam fees online at the time of registration. Please be sure to have a credit card or debit card available before beginning registration.

1. Complete the registration payment process with Total Registration: https://user.totalregistration.net/AP/172302

2. Enroll all your AP courses and exams in the College Board's MyAP system with the correct Join Codes. https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/

Step two should be completed directly after step one as exams will not be ordered if both steps are not completed.
