Program Change Request Instructions for Fall 2024

Program Change Request Instructions for Fall 2024

Program change requests began on 9/1/2023 and will conclude on 9/3/2024 at 12pm for students in grades 10-12. All requests must be made through Talos except for Grade 9 students, who may see counselors in room 236 on September 5 or 6 during lunch or a free period for errors in their schedule.

You may read the entire instructions along with the electives grid and course list at this link.

Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 will have the opportunity to request ONE program change submission through Talos. Incoming grade 9 (freshmen) students will have an opportunity to fix any program issues with their counselor on the first days of school (9/5/23 and 9/6/23). Please keep in mind a program change request submission does not guarantee the request will result in a changed program schedule.

The request submission is a request only and dependent on many factors including graduation and Stuy endorsement requirements, AP limits and prerequisites, seat availability, and mandated instructional periods and courses/labs. Be sure to review this entire message (and the FAQ) 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

***IMPORTANT: The deadline for all students to submit a program change request through Talos is Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at 12:00 pm, noon, EST.
