Why do SDA and TPHS students receive their Join Code via email?
- Why? College Board regulations holds that all exams administered in one location have to be ordered through ONE central school. SDUHSD orders the exams for CCA, SDA and TPHS that will be administered at the Del Mar Fairgrounds through CCA since that school site has the most variety of AP® subjects pre-approved through the AP® Course Audit. Your scores will NOT be linked to CCA.
- You will receive the email with the 'Exam Only' JOIN CODES within 24-hrs after your payment has processed.
