On May 23, 2025, we will launch the Fall 2025 Electives preference submission process in preparation for the next school year for students in grades 9-11 (current Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors). You must read the key information thoroughly, including the Elective descriptions and the required prerequisites/eligibility needed for the respective course/s, so you are prepared to submit your preferences correctly. Please take your time submitting your choices as the preferences are not first come, first serve.
When you choose your Elective preferences, you will see the Advanced Placement (AP) courses that you have been initially approved for listed in your Course Selection Form on Talos. Your preference selections will be reviewed and 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). Please submit your Elective preferences by the deadline of June 9 at 8:00am.

KEY ELECTIVE COURSE INFORMATION:
It is important to note that the Electives course preference process occurs in Talos. When the Electives 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 2025.
Review the Fall 2025 course offerings to explore the courses and prerequisites/eligibility requirements.
Full directions will be emailed to students and families on May 21, 2025
There is a FAQ that will be updated regularly. If there is an issue with courses not appearing on Talos that you qualify for, please email stuyvesantprogramoffice@schools.nyc.gov.
