AP at The VR School · College Board code 170588
The AP program runs on three sign-ins (My AP · Digital Portfolio · Bluebook), three role-specific calendars, and one analytic rubric. Below, all of it — with deep links to the original College Board sources, not paraphrases.
Logins
The AP Program does not (and should not) use a single sign-on. My AP holds enrollment + AP Classroom; the Digital Portfolio holds performance task work; Bluebook hosts the digital exam. Bookmark all three.

Note on academic integrity. The AP Program prohibits the use of generative AI tools to author performance task components. Original analysis and writing are the student's. AI tools studied as the subject of research (e.g., the SMILE platform in Ian's IRR/IWA) are entirely permitted; AI tools used to write performance task prose are not.
Note on accuracy. Deadlines on this page reflect the AP Capstone Implementation Guide 2025-26 (effective Fall 2024). Always confirm against the live AP Central calendar.
