May 24, 2023
Dear Students,
Today (5/24/23) we will launch the Fall 2023 Electives Programming preference submission process in preparation for the next school year for students in grades 9-11 (current Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors). It is important that you thoroughly read and review the key information below, including elective course descriptions and prerequisites/eligibility needed for the respective course/s, so you are prepared and well-informed to submit your preferences correctly and on time.
The Advanced Placement (AP) courses that you have been preliminarily approved for are listed in your Course Selection Form now. Your preferences are used to build your overall student program--we build student programs by prioritizing graduation requirements and by giving each student a minimum of 7.5 periods (Physical Education and Lunch included). Nothing is first come, first serve. Please take your time submitting your choices.
TIMELINE: 1. May 24, 2023 · Elective course preference form in Talos will be available to students at the following times: o 12:00 pm – Rising seniors o 3:00 pm – Rising juniors o 6:00 pm – Rising sophomores · NOTE: Students will see their respective AP course preferences in which they are approved for in their Talos accounts. Students should use this information when ranking their elective choices. 2. May 31, 2023 (11:59 pm) · Deadline to submit elective course preferences in Talos
KEY ELECTIVE COURSE INFORMATION: It is important to note that the electives course preference process occurs in Talos <https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/>. When the elective preference forms are released in Talos on the designated date/times, you will have the opportunity to fill out the course preference form to inform the school of the elective courses you prefer to take next school year. Please be aware no student is guaranteed a seat in a course until student programs are finalized, which will be available in September 2023.
Review the list of elective course titles <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FSDynrzYhtQT6dFCgaH0Z4wVRe7yr11g/edit#gid=1343350975> to explore the courses and prerequisites/eligibility requirements. If you would like a reminder of course descriptions for AP courses, you may review the list of AP course titles <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV6dii8X5sgDC6WghOONG9vfqha1Udak/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=118031297973453930452&rtpof=true&sd=true>.
DIRECTIONS TO SUBMIT COURSE PREFERENCES: Review the instructions below including screenshots to understand how to submit your course preferences in Talos. Students will not see the available screens in Talos until we open up the elective course preferences request on May 24. REMINDER: Course selection is NOT on a first come, first serve basis--you do NOT get preference if you are the first one to finish your selections, so please take your time determining which courses to request.
You should see three tabs: Dashboard; Grades; and Graduation Requirements.
Dashboard is an overview and contains your current choices, your schedule, and your saved choices. 
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 dropdown 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.

There is a section at the bottom of your elective selection form titled “(WARNING!) I want to drop the following AP courses:” This is where you will find the Advanced Placement (AP) courses that you have been preliminarily approved for.
You can use this section to drop an AP course you do not want. Please be careful with this section, only choose from the dropdown if you wish to give up your seat (you may not be able to get the seat back).
Please make sure to select the AP courses you’ve been accepted into under one of the categories. If the AP course is not listed under the corresponding category, it will be under the Elective category.
Finally, 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.
There is a FAQ <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_w7Qy0Qu51_OR-fYAqx34kXiTM8tzOY-gt0umL4Z8EA/edit?usp=sharing> that will be updated regularly. If there is an issue with courses not appearing on Talos that you qualify for, please email programoffice@stuy.edu <mailto:programoffice@stuy.edu>.
Stay well, Stuyvesant High School
