Spring 2022 Programs Released - Program Change Requests end 1/30/22

January 27, 2022

Dear Students,

We are releasing preliminary Spring Term 2022 programs to students today, Thursday, January 27, 2022. Programs meet graduation and Stuyvesant endorsement requirements. Finalized programs will be visible on Talos on February 2, 2022. Students will have the opportunity to request ONE program change. More information is below on what qualifies as one program change request and how and when to submit a program change.

Please make sure you are in the 2021-2022 school year, Term 2 in Talos in the upper right corner (not visible on your phone) to see your Spring Schedule.

Your preliminary Spring 2022 schedule is now available on Talos. Talos is the portal where you can submit a program change request, which will be available to different groups at different times indicated below:

Seniors: 6:00 pm Thursday January 27, 2022

Juniors: 9:00 pm Thursday January 27, 2022

Sophomores and Freshmen: 4:00 pm Friday January 28, 2022

IMPORTANT: The deadline for all students to submit program change requests through Talos is Sunday, January 30, 2022 at 11:59pm EST.

Important Directions and Guidelines (Please Read Thoroughly):

• All requests must be accompanied with a justification for your request. YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO ONLY ONE PROGRAM CHANGE REQUEST. The definition of “one” program change request is “one dropped class accompanied by one added class OR one dropped class OR one added class”. 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 and Stuyvesant requirements.
• Counselors and Department Chairs/Assistant Principals have the option in Talos to leave messages for you upon approving or denying a request. You may write messages to your counselor and to the Assistant Principals here as well. All messages can be viewed in Talos.
• 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. Therefore, upon submitting a request, please wait patiently until the request has been handled.

Follow the directions below to submit a program change request:

1. Click on the “Program Management Portal”
2. Click “Create Change” located on the right
3. Click the corresponding “Drop” button to drop a course
4. 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 Guidance Counselor and Department Chair/Assistant Principal for review and approval/denial. Please refer to the FAQ to understand the overall program change request process.

Please do not reply directly to this email.

The Program Office will be updating the FAQ
