Once you submit your portfolio components as final, you won’t be able to make any changes unless your teacher returns a component to you.
Next, you’ll be required to review each portfolio component one more time and confirm that it’s correct.
You’ll then be required to acknowledge the Artistic Integrity Agreement and the Digital Portfolio AP Exam Terms and Conditions.
