Suffolk County Community College offers high school students a non-credit, state-certified Driver and Traffic Safety Education program. This program consists of 25.5 hours of classroom instruction and 25.5 hours of behind the wheel training and observation. Those who successfully complete the program will receive the MV-285 Student Certificate of Completion, issued by the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles. The MV-285 allows students with a NYS Junior Permit to schedule a road test, receive their senior license at the age of 17 instead of 18, and may be eligible for a rate reduction in their automobile insurance. This course is offered on the Ammerman Campus in Selden.
Please note that XDT100 and XDT200 are corequisites and must be taken together and successfully completed to obtain the MV-285. For more information, please call the Office of Continuing Education at (631) 451-4399 or email your request to drivered@sunysuffolk.edu.
