APID: Advanced Placement International Diploma

The AP International Diploma (APID) is a globally recognized award for students interested in pursuing university study outside of their native country. It requires students to display mastery on AP Exams across several disciplines and represents an exceptional level of achievement.

The Advanced Placement® International Diploma is a credential that allows students to demonstrate outstanding academic achievement on AP® Exams across several disciplines. The APID also promotes an international outlook. It indicates to colleges and universities that the student has challenged him- or herself in multiple subject areas and has succeeded in a global perspectives course.

The APID is an optional certificate that is available to students attending secondary schools outside the United States and to students attending U.S. high schools who are applying to universities outside the country. The APID is not a substitute for a high school diploma but rather provides additional certification of academic excellence.

To earn an APID, a student attending a school within the United States must send at least one AP Grade Report to a university outside the United States
