January 17, 2025
Dear Students,
Preliminary Spring Term 2025 programs are being released to students on January 21, 2025, in Talos <https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/?next=/users/students>. Student programs are developed to position students to progress through the graduation and Stuyvesant endorsement requirements. Please note, you may see a student program on other platforms such as the MySchools, TeachHub, or parent NYC Schools account; however, these programs are not accurate. Therefore, please wait until the preliminary student programs, which will be available on Talos <https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/?next=/users/students> on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, to review your student schedule.
Students will have the opportunity to request ONE program change and the submission must be made no later than the deadline at 12:00 PM (noon) on January 24, 2025. The program change request process for students in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 will start on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, and the opportunity to request ONE program change will only be accepted through Talos <https://talos.stuy.edu/auth/login/?next=/users/students>, the portal to submit a program change request. Please keep in mind a program change request submission does not guarantee the request will result in a changed program schedule.
Please keep in mind a submission for a program change request does not guarantee the request will result in a program change. The submission is a request only and dependent on several factors including but not limited to graduation and Stuyvesant endorsement requirements, AP limits and prerequisites, seat availability, IEP/504 services, and mandated instructional periods and courses/labs. Be sure to review this entire message (and the FAQ <https://docs.google.com/document/d/17HpgrHAR1_blOV0z_nLxDdk9p8CrpDO6GFNhD7aP...>) as we provide more information for what qualifies as one program change request submission along with how and when to submit a program change request. Please note, program change requests on the basis of the following reasons below will be denied:
Teacher preference Period preference. Examples include, but are not limited to: Travel distance from home Requests to arrive late/leave early Changes to lunch period Undocumented health issues Classroom location Requests to reverse previously requested program change A program that does not meet the criteria of a full program will be denied. A full program is defined as six (6) academic classes, plus PE, plus lunch, plus lab (where applicable).
The program change request through Talos will be open starting with our upperclassmen and following the timeframe below:
Start Date and Time Class/Grade Start Date and Time
Seniors Tuesday January 21, 2025 starting at 3:00 pm EST
Juniors Tuesday, January 21, 2025, starting at 5:00 pm EST
Sophomores & Freshmen Tuesday, January 21, 2025 starting at 7:00 pm EST
End Date and Time Class/Grade End Date and Time
All grades Friday, January 24, 2025 at 8:00 am
***IMPORTANT: The deadline for all students to submit a program change request through Talos is January 24, 2025 at 8:00 am EST.
Important Directions and Guidelines (Please Read Thoroughly): A program change request submission must be accompanied with a justification for the request. A request without justification will be denied. Your justification allows for School Counselors and/or Department Chairs/Assistant Principals to easily identify the purpose of your request, which will inform their decision in either approving or denying the request, or perhaps devising an alternative. The highest priority for a program change request will be given to meeting NYSED graduation requirements and the Stuyvesant endorsement. YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO ONLY ONE PROGRAM CHANGE REQUEST. In your one program change request submission, you may need to drop multiple classes and/or add multiple classes. Please be aware that the more actions you are requesting on your ONE request, the less likely it will get approved or even processed because of multiple waitlists and potential conflicts (please see FAQs). Counselors and Department Chairs/Assistant Principals have the option in Talos to leave messages for you upon approving or denying a request. Since program change requests are to be exclusively handled through Talos, and messages are being posted and reviewed through Talos; extraneous emails will slow down the process of program changes--do not email the Department Chairs, school counselors, or Program Office with program change requests. Therefore, upon submitting a request, please wait patiently until the request has been handled. Please refer to this grid to find elective courses <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CBgAKBdJbgUPCiL43hxN7nmPN1-V4DVrc2Gd...> and their period. Please keep in mind that some of the courses might not be available because they are full or have prerequisites. Requesting a course with no available seats or one that you are not qualified to take will reduce the chances of your one request being approved.
Follow the directions below to submit a program change request: Click on the “Program Management Portal” Click “Create Change” located on the right Click the corresponding “Drop” button to drop a course Find the requested course in the search area in the lower left and then click, “Add Course” to your schedule. Talos will prevent you from submitting an impossible schedule through red warning dialogues after clicking “Add Course”
Upon generating the request, Talos will notify the appropriate School Counselor and Department Chair/Assistant Principal for review and approval/denial. Please refer to the FAQ <https://docs.google.com/document/d/17HpgrHAR1_blOV0z_nLxDdk9p8CrpDO6GFNhD7aP...> to understand the overall program change request process.
Best, Stuyvesant High School
