Spring Course Selection 2025 ends on 12/2/24!

Please review the following instructions and key information to request and/or apply for elective/PE selective for the 2024-2025 Spring semester. This process is intended for you to make requested elective selections using the preference form, which then allows our Program Office to determine preliminary schedules for the entire school.

Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. While we try to honor requests, an approval to apply for a course does not guarantee a seat in the course/class. Approval to apply for a course indicates that you may request a seat—NOTE: Final seat assignments are pending based on space, course availability, and Administration oversight.

This document contains instructions (with screenshots) and an FAQ which we will be updating regularly. Please take the time to review the document and FAQ regularly. Also, please review the important reminders below:

• Course requests are NOT on a first come, first serve basis--you do NOT get preference if you are the first one to finish your selections; therefore, take your time in thoughtfully determining which courses you prefer to request.
  • Visit the Course Search part of Talos to research before making your requests.
• 2024-2025 Spring elective course requests will open:
  • For SENIORS Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 4:00 pm
  • For JUNIORS Friday, November 22, 2024 at 12:00 pm
  • For Freshmen/Sophomores Friday, November 22, 2024 at 4:00 pm
• The form will close for ALL GRADES on Monday, December 2, 2024 at 12:00pm
• Go to https://talos.stuy.edu/ to make your requests at your assigned time.

DIRECTIONS:

You should see three tabs: Dashboard; Grades; and Graduation Requirements.

Dashboard is an overview and contains your current choices, your schedule, and your course applications (see below).

The Grades tab has your transcript data and is used to determine your eligibility to select certain courses.

The Graduation Requirements tab contains a table — red represents “not fulfilled”, yellow represents “in progress”, and green indicates “fulfilled”. The “Course Selection Form” button will provide a form for you to select the courses you are eligible to apply for and request. It will appear when you are allowed to make selections,

Please consult the course eligibility rule, found by searching the course on the course list (located in the menu on the left) if you do not see a course you may be ineligible to take it.

Please note, this is a preference form only. No request is binding and no student is guaranteed a seat in a course. Seniors are prioritized for courses to meet graduation requirements.
