SpringBoard Online Websites SpringBoard Online is the official site for teachers, administrators, and students to use throughout the school year.

The SpringBoard Online Training Site is for educators to use during their SpringBoard professional development.

Either site can be used for completing online tutorials for continuing education units (CEUs).

About Access Codes Access Code: a virtual “key” to online services for educators •

Your registered educator account on collegeboard.com lets you access many services like SpringBoard Online and AP Central, but you need a separate “key” in order to enroll in and log into each of those individual services.



The access code is your key. If you have the right key – or if the key has already been entered for you – you’ll be able to enroll and access the service.
