Suffolk BEACON Program

The BEACON Program is a dual enrollment program that will allow Patchogue-Medford High School students to take Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) courses during their junior and senior years. These are college-level courses taught by high school teachers who have been granted adjunct status by SCCC and they demand the same level of rigorous work as courses offered at the college campus. Students who have an 85 grade point average and/or an 80 with teacher recommendation are eligible to enroll in BEACON Program courses. Upon successful completion of an BEACON Program course, students have the option to receive a SCCC transcript for the course credits. Tuition will be determined by SCCC. BEACON students are eligible to use SCCC's three campus libraries and have access to student events on campus such as theatre productions, concerts, and other student activities. Tuition payment for an BEACON course will be due in September.

Transferability is described at: https://www.sunysuffolk.edu/explore-academics/college-for-high-school-students/beacon-program/index.jsp

The following courses have been approved as SCCC BEACON courses and are offered pending enrollment. BEACON courses will have a course weighting of 1.10. Students must enroll and pay for BEACON credit to receive 1.10 course weighting.  Any student who does not enroll for BEACON credit will receive a course weighting of 1.05.
