<p>Can you still withhold/cancel grades from colleges after you receive your grades? If so, can someone link me to the CB page where the procedure is stated? </p>
<p>I've just been hearing about people "choosing not to send certain AP scores to colleges." How does one go about doing that (for a failed exam, for example)? </p>
<p>Thanks a lot! :)</p>
<p>Apparently the deadline for grade withholding for this year was June 15. But you can always have your grades canceled. Assuming that you have not had them sent to a college already, a score will not be noted and the exam will be listed as canceled. From [Reports</a> Services for Students](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/ap/grades/reporting/for-students]Reports”>Higher Education Professionals | College Board) : </p>
<p>Grade cancellation
If a student requests cancellation of an AP Exam grade, that grade is deleted permanently from the student’s records and can never be retrieved. There is no fee for grade cancellation, and the exam fee is not refunded. Grades may be canceled at any time. However, for grades not to appear on the current year’s grade report, AP Services must receive a signed, written request by mail or fax requesting cancellation by June 15. While there is no fee for this service, the exam fee is not refunded. The grade report that the student and the school receive will indicate that the grade has been canceled.</p>
<p>Why bother, really? It’s not going to really affect you if you send them a bad grade.</p>
<p>But that’s my problem. It WILL affect me. Is there any way i can withhold a score after June 15?!</p>
<p>@dirty: Your answer is in post #2. </p>
<p>@user: Apparently some schools require you to use the credit you get from AP and take the appropriate-level course; some students who may qualify to go straight to Calc II with AP credit may still want to start at Calc I, for example.</p>

Yikes so nothing eh. So if i cancelled a score, would it show up on the score report send to a college as a written exam with a cancelled score?</p>
<p>Actually, I’m not sure if the information in post #2 is still accurate to be honest. The link is no longer active, and I can’t find that same information anywhere on the CB website. =/</p>
<p>So it may in fact be possible that you can’t even cancel scores anymore past June.</p>
<p>Oh my god. No. no nononononononoakdasdkjahsdjakjdhsajsdhsakjdh NO!!!</p>
<p>Brb jumping off a cliff</p>
<p>OKAY kidding but like… what the hell!!! and the 1-888 number is just a machine! I NEED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE
Ugh i’m gonna be one of those annoying kids who like looks up a high school adviser on FB to harass them with questions… why meeeee</p>
<p>It’s Saturday in the summer. I doubt there’s a live person to talk to. Though I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Right. I guess i’ll call on Monday and find out.
CB Policy makes no sense though! The deadline for score withholding was June 15. But the earliest I could find out about my grades was July 1st. So like… how is that even helpful?!</p>
<p>The deadline for score withholding was June 15, for the AP Scores that came out THIS SUMMER.</p>
<p>When you request to withhold it after, like if you were to do it on Monday, the AP Scores would be cancelled and disappear on NEXT SUMMER’S report paper.</p>
<p>Does the request to withhold scores have to be handwritten (I’m asking because the collegeboard website says that I have to send a “signed, written” request. Does that “signed, written” mean handwritten?)</p>
<p>By “signed written” CB usually means hard paper rather than e-mail or phone. For example, SAT score cancellation forms have to be faxed or priority mailed, or handed in at the same time as the test. They need an actual signature. </p>
<p>Typed or handwritten does not matter but the form for SAT score cancellation is handy because it asks for all the info they need, like age, name, sex, date of birth, registration number, test date, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you. And for the signature, does it have to be my full name? Because I only put the first letter of my first name in my signature.</p>
