April 26, 2022

Dear Students,

Please review the following instructions and key information to request and/or apply for Advanced Placement (AP) course selection which begins on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 6pm. 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. 

You must follow these directions carefully. The Talos course selection options have changed. There is now a waitlist option. Please read this entire document carefully.

Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course.  

This document contains instructions (with screenshots). In addition, there is 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 2022 Advanced Placement (AP) course requests will open on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 6:00 pm and will close on May 11, 2022, at 11:59 pm.

• Go 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.Once you are on the Grades tab, click the drop down under ALL SCHOOLS and choose 02M475, so that you are viewing only Stuyvesant grades.

The Graduation Requirements tab contains a button named Course Selection Form.  It will appear when the selection starts.  Before then, you will not be able to locate it.

Please consult the course eligibility rule, found by searching the course on the course list (located in the menu on the left).  NEW: If you do not meet the grade requirements for a course, you will see a WAITLIST option.  Both the regular list and waitlist will be provided to the department chairs so they can select students for their courses.

For rising juniors and seniors, you will have an additional section to select AP English.  You must rank AP English before making the individual AP English choices.  If you did not rank AP English, you will not be considered for any of the choices you’ve selected in the AP English section. If you did select AP English but did not rank the AP English choices then you will be not considered for any of the choice options. 

Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course.  Again, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. 

The total number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses you are eligible to request is based on your Stuyvesant GPA.The Stuyvesant GPA is defined as the GPA you have earned from classes taken at Stuyvesant--not middle school grades, even if they appear on your high school transcript. 

See Below:

NOTE: 

• AP Calculus AB and AP Statistics  and 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 in Stuyvesant  for the Advanced Regents Diploma/Stuy Endorsed Diploma, will not have an AP World Language course counted 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. 

You may view a list of AP course titles.  Courses descriptions are on the second tab of the spreadsheet.

If there is an issue with not seeing an AP course or the waitlist option, please email us at programoffice@stuy.edu.
