Guidance Department 

It is very important that members of the high school’s guidance department be thoroughly familiar with the requirements, objectives, and design of each course and work closely with teachers in advising prospective students when to register for Bona Bridge courses. SBU will provide guidance information to high school guidance personnel. Guidance personnel should also pay close attention to the section above (in the FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS area), titled "Student Qualifications," for guidelines on student enrollment.
