While the CodeHS AP CSA (Cortado) course provides well over 20 hours of hands-on, lab-like activities that satisfy this requirement, these College Board labs are excellent resources to support student learning and skill development. We've added the first four new labs to our [AP CSA Labs Course](https://codehs.com/course/apcsalabs/overview). The remaining two new labs will be added this semester.

Students must order their exams by **November 14th** to avoid the late registration fee, unless you are teaching the class in the second semester. Be sure to check with your school's AP Coordinator so that students can register on time. The deadline to submit your course syllabus to the College Board is **January 31st, 2026** and the earlier you submit the better! This is especially important for new AP CSA teachers since you may not have access to resources such as AP Classroom until after your audit is completed. If you are using one of our courses, you can select the course from the endorsed provider list. By selecting the CodeHS course, it will automatically use the CodeHS approved syllabus for that course.

Our [FRQ Center](https://codehs.com/app/apcsa_frq) has the option to assign text-only (similar to the AP exam) or runnable activities of the FRQs from past exams, depending on your interest. Additionally, the College Board has a few resources to help prepare for this transition: - [General Digital Exam Support Page](https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/exam-administration-ordering-scores/digital-ap-exams) - [Preview a Test on Bluebook](https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/students/practice) [![undefined](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cm264m3an0084qegvyd7aetst/images/image-1757944632632-compressed.png)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/389350941/fc66372ab661ee2b92cdc1b6/image.png?expires=1757945700&signature=fedcb39c958caa384a78905a97ffd3e7473f4ee468515763b870d9a1600ca3f6&req=dyguFcx%2BlIVeFb4f3HP0gIKiX0fiFowAqCGw%2F0L3Ijb9T4jGMtfN4BsdOCN1%0Ax2o%3D%0A) ## 🎥 Free Back to School & AP CSA Webinars CodeHS has a variety of free 30 minute webinars to help you prepare for the school year!
