Dear Students,

Please review the following instructions and key information to request and/or apply for Advanced Placement (AP) course selection. This process is intended for you to make requested course selections using the preference form, which then allows our Program Office to determine preliminary schedules for the entire school. Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. We will do our best to honor all requests. Additionally, an approval to apply for a course does not signify you have a seat in the course/class. Approval to apply for a course signifies you can request a seat—NOTE: Final seat assignments are pending based on space, course availability, and Administration oversight.

This document contains instructions (with screenshots) and an FAQ which we will be updating regularly. Please review the important reminders below:

Course selection is NOT First Come First Serve basis--you do NOT get preference if you are the first one to finish your selections so take your time determining which courses you would prefer to request
Fall 2021 Advanced Placement (AP) course requests will open on Friday, April 23, 2021 at 6:00 pm and will close on May 5, 2021, at 11:59 pm.
Go to stuy.mytalos.com to make your requests

DIRECTIONS:

You should see three tabs: Dashboard; Grades; and Graduation Requirements.

Dashboard is an overview and contains your current choices, your schedule, and your course applications (see below).

Grades tab has your transcript data and is used to determine your eligibility to select certain courses.

Graduation Requirements tab contains a table — red represents “not fulfilled”, yellow represents “in progress”, and green indicates “fulfilled”. The “Course Selection Form” button will provide a form for you to select the AP courses you are eligible to apply for and request.

Please consult the course eligibility rule, found by searching the course on the course list (located in the menu on the left), if you do not see a course you may be eligible to take.

If you do not qualify to request a course, but wish to apply, please find the section labeled “Course Applications” on the Graduation Requirements page and click create. This will prompt you to select a course, as well as enter the reason you would like to be considered for the course. The Department Chair and counselors will review your application and consult with teachers. If approved to apply, this will grant you the ability to request the course. Please note this is only permission to apply for the course.

Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. We will do our best to honor all requests. Additionally, an approval to apply for a course does not signify you have a seat in the course/class. Approval to apply for a course signifies you can request a seat—NOTE: Final seat assignments are pending based on space, course availability, and Administration oversight. Seniors are prioritized for courses to meet graduation requirements.

The total number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses you are eligible to request is based on your Stuyvesant GPA. See Below:

*Total Number of AP Courses Allowed	Qualification
Up to 1 AP Course	GPA < 88
Up to 2 AP Courses	88 ≤ GPA < 93
Up to 3 AP Courses	93 ≤ GPA < 95
Up to 4 AP Courses	GPA ≥ 95

NOTE:

AP Calculus AB and AP Statistics will not be included in the total number of AP courses allowed. AP Calculus BC will be included in the total number of AP courses allowed.
Students who require an AP World Language course to complete their three year sequence for the Advanced Regents Diploma/Stuy Endorsed Diploma, will automatically be programmed for the course. An automatically scheduled AP World Language course will not be included in the total number of AP courses allowed.
Students who request 4 or more AP courses will be reviewed by the Administration, Guidance, and teachers to ensure the student will be able to handle the academic course load (homework, classwork, etc) and expectations.

If there is an issue with the order in which things are being filled on the graduation requirements table, please click “Generate Default Fill-ins” — this will give the system a chance to redo the fill-ins and think it through some more. If there is still an issue, please email us at programoffice@stuy.edu.

Stay well,

Program Office
