The Suffolk County Community College Beacon Program is a concurrent enrollment program that allows high school juniors and seniors to take SCCC college courses at their high school campus during their regular school hours, while simultaneously working toward high school graduation. College credits earned through the Beacon Program can be applied toward high school graduation and accepted at SCCC or transferred to a multitude of other colleges and universities. Enrollment in a Beacon Program course generates an official SCCC transcript for each student. Acceptance of credit for college-level course work is under the domain of the receiving colleges and universities.

As of the 2015 school year, the Brentwood High School has joined with SCCC to offer our Italian 3 (493) course aligned with Suffolk County Community College's Italian 102 (ITL 102) program.

In order to participate and earn credit, you must;

• have earned an 85 overall or better average in both Italian 1 and 2

• enroll at the beginning of the school year

• pay SCCC's reduced tuition costs

• successfully complete and maintain academic excellence in the course with a minimum of an 85 / B+ overall average. This includes successfully completing the required Checkpoint B exam which is factored into your final average

• Maintain excellent attendance with minimal absences and lateness.
