Frequently Asked Questions

UC Scout Student Life

Yes, absolutely! On Demand (UC Scout teacher led) students must add an observer.

What is an observer? An observer is a trusted guide who supports a student's journey through their course(s). Typical observers include:

  • Parent/guardian
  • Guidance counselor
  • Academic advisor
  • Mentor
  • Tutor

What is the observer's role and responsibility?

  • Committed to supporting the student
  • Monitor progress and view student submissions and grades
  • Receive occasional correspondence from the UC Scout teacher when support is needed

What if a student can not add an observer? If a student can not add an observer, they should provide an explanation as to why they are bypassing the requirement. Remember, having an observer is key to ensuring a student is supported and successful in their course(s)!

I am taking a course with a teacher from my school (not a UC Scout teacher), can I add an observer? Yes, all students are encouraged to add observers.

What is the AP Exam? AP Exams are standardized exams designed to measure how well you’ve mastered the content and skills of a specific AP course. Most U.S. colleges grant credit, advanced placement, or both for qualifying AP scores.

Is it necessary to take the AP Exam if I am enrolled in an On Demand course? No, taking the AP Exam is entirely optional and comes with an additional fee separate from the On Demand registration fee.

Below, you will find details regarding the forthcoming 2024 AP Exam:

UC Scout will offer the 2024 AP exam to 2023 Summer, 2023 Fall, and 2024 Spring On Demand students only. Students may only register through UC Scout for On Demand courses taken with UC Scout. UC Scout DOES NOT accommodate exams for courses taken through another provider or school. 

  1. Where will AP exams be administered? In person at the UC Scout headquarters, 3175 Bowers Ave. in Santa Clara, California. UC Scout will not offer digital tests.
  2. How will in-person exams be administered? All in-person exams will be hand-written. UC Scout WILL NOT offer in-person digital exams.
  3. UC Scout will not provide drinks, meals, transportation, or overnight accommodations. Students are encouraged to confirm with their guardians that they will have transportation before remitting payment.
  4. If I take a UC Scout course, can I still take the AP exam with my high school? Yes, students who wish to test at a school in their community may do so by asking their school to register them for an “Exam Only” option at their school site.
  5. If I cancel my exam will I receive a refund? No, refunds will not be provided if you opt to cancel or reschedule.
  6. What if I enrolled in a UC Scout course but dropped it before the midterm exam? Will I still be able to take the AP exam with UC Scout? No. Students who drop UC Scout courses will also have their status changed to “No” to testing within AP Classroom.
  7. Will UC Scout host late AP exams? Students registering for AP Computer Science Principles on or after January 16th, 2024, will be enrolled in the late testing session set for Thursday, May 23, 2024. This is due to capacity constraints for the traditional exam date. Further information regarding the late-date testing location in Santa Clara, California, will be provided in early February.
  8. If I have an IEP or 504 Plan, can I have accommodations for the AP exam? Students must submit their accommodations directly to the College Board for consideration. Students will follow the procedure for Requesting Accommodations Without Going Through the School and will need to bring their letter from the College Board with their approved accommodations on testing day.

Registering and Verifying Payment:

Remitting payment for the Spring 2024 AP exam begins on January 16, 2024, and ends on February 27, 2024. UC Scout will send an email to students enrolled in Spring On Demand AP courses, detailing the two-step process to secure your spot.

Exam Dates and Times:

  1. The exam testing schedule can be found here.

FAQs and Requirements On Exam Day:

Q: Do I need to bring a form of identification?
A: For each testing day, students must provide a government or school-issued photo ID for exam testing confirmation.

Q: I have an approved testing accommodation. How will my accommodation be implemented?
A: Students will need to bring their College Board SSD letter if they are taking an exam with approved accommodations on testing day.

Q: Can my parent/guardian wait while I take my exam?
A: The testing facility will not be able to host individuals who are transporting students to and from testing. All students must stay in the testing room until the exam is over. Students will not be allowed to send or receive calls or texts during testing.

Q: Can I bring food and drink into the exam room?
A: Food and drink consumption is not permitted during the exam administration unless it is during a designated break time.

Q: What can I bring to the AP Exam?
A: Visit the AP College Board What Students Should and Should Not Bring to the Exam page for more information.

Q: Will UC Scout provide calculators for exams where calculators are allowed?
A: No, students must bring their own approved calculator. See the College Board Calculator Policy.

Q: What time will the exam start and end?
A: Students should arrive 45 minutes before the exam administration to get checked in. The exam will be offered for the appropriate number of minutes as allotted by the College Board. The College Board does not post end times for each exam. The proctor will need to ensure there is enough time for a script reading, breaks, passing, and collection of exams, answer sheets, and AP ID labels. We will post anticipated end times outside of the building. All students will be released at the same time.

Have additional questions about the AP exam? AP exam information can be found on the College Board website or you can contact the Help Desk at ucscout@ucsc.edu.

UC Scout courses are delivered online via our learning management system (LMS). Students and teachers can use the course as a standalone class, but some prefer to use Basic or Plus courses to supplement a face to face course. Online learning takes discipline. In On Demand, you will be required to complete readings, view lectures, participate in optional discussion boards, complete assignments, take tests and quizzes, write essays, and attend weekly optional live sessions.

Best Practices

UC Scout On Demand courses are either one or two semesters long. Most students take around four months to complete one semester, but those students typically are taking a full load of other courses, too. On Demand courses are completed at your own pace and considered an independent study. In On Demand, you have to get all your work done before the last day of class. 

The timeline of a Basic (teacher version) and Plus course is determined by the student's school, not UC Scout. You can view the differences on our Plans & Pricing page.

Basic (student version) allows a student to have the content up to one-year. 

To ensure our teachers can provide support to an On Demand student with accommodations we'll need documentation to be sent to UC Scout.

A student can submit their accommodations through the Accommodations Request Form and upload the acceptable documentation for review. One of the following must be submitted for accommodations to be implemented:

  • 504 Plan
  • College Board letter
  • Individualized Education Program (IEP)
  • Individualized Service Plan - Private schools (ISP)

The document must have a signature from the student's parents/guardians and the school.

A UC Scout representative will follow up and provide a list of the reasonable accommodations UC Scout can provide in an online course.

Additionally, students are welcome to participate in UC Scout courses, but we cannot make accommodations without the acceptable and signed documentation.

UC Scout does not provide accommodations for a student enrolled in a Basic or Plus course. The student should reach out to the facilitating teacher or school for more information.

If you have any questions, reach out to ucscoutaccommodations@ucsc.edu.

No, but you will be working on getting your "a-g" course requirements completed for high school graduation and CSU and UC eligibility.

Please view the On Demand UC Scout Course Expectations document.

Yes. For On Demand courses, UC Scout uses an online proctoring service called ProctorU. In order to complete the midterm and final exam in these courses, a webcam and microphone are required. Students will share their computer screen with the Proctor and they will be recorded during the test taking time.

To learn more about Proctoring, visit the question 'What proctoring service does UC Scout use' on the FAQ page.

In Basic and Plus, your teacher will let you know about exams. 

Grades and Credit

No. These are not college courses. If you pass an AP exam, a college may give you credit, but that is up to each individual college or university.

As of August 1 2019, UC Scout teacher-led On Demand Science courses have virtual labs embedded into each of them to satisfy "A-G" requirements.

Plus courses do not include virtual labs. Teachers facilitating a Plus course can use this lab list. 

Grading depends on which plan the student has chosen. For Basic and Plus, the student’s school of record issues official grades.

For On Demand, UC Scout can provide transcripts to academic counselors or colleges. Instructors assign grades based on a student’s performance on the activities outlined in the syllabus. Instructors use Turnitin to ensure authenticity of written assignments.

UC Scout does not offer transcripts for Basic or Plus courses, but WASC has authorized UC Scout to issue transcripts for our On Demand courses. Transcripts are only issued to academic counselors or schools once a course is complete. 

Students who want credit for Basic or Plus courses must discuss how credit will be issued with their school counselors before enrolling. The process for getting credit for a Basic or Plus course involves your school adding the UC Scout course to its a-g list. Then, the course can show up on your high school transcript.

On Demand students can have transcripts sent using the digital credentialing service, Parchment. Common transcript recipients include: colleges, high schools, academic counselors, students, and parents. Parchment’s transcript fees may vary depending on shipping costs.

Please follow the instructions below to process your request

Step 1. To ensure your final grade has been entered, click here to log into your UC Scout account, select ‘Academics,’ then ‘Completed Sections.’ 

This step is critical to avoid paying for a transcript that does not include your grades.

Step 2. Create or log into your existing Parchment account by clicking here and following the Parchment instructions. Your transcript will be processed within five business days.

  • Log in to your UC Scout account
  • Hover over "Academics" 
  • Click on "Completed Sections"

Enrollment

Yes. Our organization works proactively with schools that offer our courses to ensure an accurate listing of online AP courses in the school's official AP Course Ledger listing. Schools are notified by us in writing to utilize the "Add Online/Distance Learning Provider" tool in their AP Course Audit account to properly document use of our authorized courses.

Yes, with the following exceptions: 

  1. Pre-Algebra. Nobody's Pre-Algebra course is a-g approved; it is not high-level enough to qualify for a-g credit.

On Demand courses are NCAA approved. Please note that NCAA does not approve courses in all disciplines. Courses that are not NCAA approved include:

  • AP Music Theory
  • Art History and Appreciation,
  • AP Art History
  • Pre Algebra
  • Health and Medicine: EMT
  • Introduction to Java
  • Introduction to Robotic Engineering
  • Studio Art: 3-D Design

Please confirm with NCAA that the course you want is NCAA approved before enrolling. 

Basic and Plus courses are not NCAA approved because UC Scout does not provide a teacher for them. Schools are welcome to go through the approval process with NCAA using UC Scout's Basic and Plus courses if they wish. 

Only extremely rare circumstances warrant attempting to take two semesters of a course simultaneously. It is not recommended, as what you will learn in Semester 2 is based on what you learned in Semester 1.

No.

Schools utilizing the Plus plan must provide students a unique invitation code so they can enroll the customized course(s). Schools submitting purchase orders on behalf of their students are also provided a unique invitation code so their students can enroll in their pre-paid course.

Student step by step enrollment directions can be found on the How to Register for a UC Scout Course Using an Invitation Code document.

Users who purchase courses through the UC Scout account portal using the 'Register Me' or 'Register Others' feature do not need an invitation code, as the enrollment is automatically linked to the student's account.

Yes. UC Scout is a fully accredited Supplementary Education Program by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges).

We verify anyone wanting to facilitate a Basic or Plus course for student(s) annually. Facilitators are welcome to email us at ucscout@ucsc.edu with their up-to-date teaching credential number or private home school affidavit.

  • On Demand courses are designed as self paced asynchronous courses where students work independent of their peers. In On Demand, students can begin on the start date up to the final enrollment date, and can complete the course before or on the end date at the latest. More information about On Demand can be found here, and session dates can be found here. 

  • Basic and Plus can start at any time and can be open for a maximum of one year from the start date. Basic and Plus are facilitated by a teacher from the student's school. That teacher will set the start and end date, and create the structure for the course. More information of Basic and Plus can be found here. 

Payments and Refunds

Yes! Basic and Plus courses are free for California public schools and students. Private and Out-of-State schools can access Basic and Plus courses for a small fee. UC Scout's On Demand courses are $399 and are taught by a credentialed UC Scout instructor.
