Registration will now be 9/7 – 9/30.
One major change is that students must enter their parent’s correct email address in the portal. The link for consent and payment will be sent to that address and is required to have their registration processed.
The Beacon registration portal will remain open until Tuesday, 10/04/22 at 11:59pm.
Tuition payment for the college credits must be made upon receipt of the automated parent email with link, in order to be registered.
For the new payment method:
Parents should receive an automated email with link to give parent consent and to make payment, within 24 hours of student choosing their course on the Beacon Portal (sent to the parent email address entered by students, when they create their Beacon profile & enroll for the college credits on beacon.sunysuffolk.edu). Parents should also check their spam/junk folders for the automated parent email with link.
Beacon tuition is still $57 per college credit.
