AP Summer Institutes

The contracts for the AP Summer Institutes (APSI) have been signed
so you are good to begin registering for those! Here are the websites for
the two we have in Oklahoma:

APSI at the University of Tulsa: www.utulsa.edu/ap-tulsa
APSI at the University of Oklahoma: www.cafe.ou.edu/advancedplacement

Please be sure to read all materials closely as they will tell you what is
covered and what is not.

All registrations and cancellations are handled by the universities so
you'll need to deal directly with them. They will also know who is
teaching the class as well.

The contact information for OU and TU is on their web sites.

These two APSIs offer lodging as a part of their registration fee if
you live a set number of miles from their campuses, but you must
follow their directions in order to sign up for lodging. (See each
web site for the mileage.)

Travel is not paid by the State Department of Education (SDE).

Non-attendance without cancellation will • not • be paid by the
SDE. (Be sure to read each cancellation policy closely! The SDE
cannot cancel your registration for you!)

**** Please remember that these are free for Oklahoma public school
teachers. You must be currently employed by an Oklahoma district in order
to have your registration paid by the SDE. Students who have just
graduated but are not under contract cannot attend as an Oklahoma public
school teacher. If your contract in one district has expired, but you
have not yet signed a contract with a new district, you are not eligible
for the registration waiver. In other words, you must be under contract
with a public school at the time of the APSI for the SDE to pay your
registration fee.*****

Second, can't find an APSI on those web sites that you want to attend?
Already seen/heard those presenters?

We will, once again, offer scholarships to attend out of state APSIs. The
application will be forthcoming, but here's what you need to know:

scholarships up to $650 are available but are for registration only!

no travel is included in the scholarship!

once your scholarship is approved, it is your responsibility to
register for the APSI you want to attend

preference will be given to those applications for APSIs that are not
offered at Oklahoma APSIs

Non-attendance without cancellation will • not • be paid by the
SDE. (Be sure to read each cancellation policy closely! The SDE
cannot cancel your registration for you!)

I'll send the application once I receive it from College Board. It
will come via this listserv.

To see what is offered at out of state APSIs, go to this web site:

As always, please forward to anyone you think might be interested in
attending - teachers are not required to teach AP or Pre-AP in order to
attend an APSI.
