Driver Education consists of two components:

Lecture and Drive Lab

20 hours of lecture either in the classroom or online
  6 hours of behind-the-wheel training outside of lecture time

Testing is a part of driver education and is done for both written and skills assessment.

What happens if I fail either part?
You get two chances to pass the driving part of the class. Subsequent drive re-tests cost $40 (effective Jan. 1, 2021) each attempt.

During orientation, students are divided into groups based at physical locations. Students choose a drive time in chronological order based on the date you registered for class.

FAQs

What are the pros and cons of online lecture?
Pro: Online offers students the flexibility to complete the course around their schedule. For those students who need more time, it allows them to work at their own pace. Con: It is not for everyone. If you are not a self-motivated, self-starting student, you will fall behind and risk not passing the course.

Since I am taking the lecture online, do I have to attend orientation?
Yes, or a representative. You will get vital information about the website, login information and schedule your drive time.

How do I sign up for my drive time?
During orientation via Zoom, drive labs are selected in chronological order based on the date you registered for class.

Since I am taking the lecture online, do I have to buy the book?
Yes, you will need to purchase the required book. See the Getting Started section for more information. You must read the chapters and complete the chapter quizzes.

Does reading the book count for my log-in time?
No. Just as if you were at a physical location, you must be prepared for class and do the assigned reading prior to lecture.

When do I have to be logged on?
During the school year, you must be logged on four hours each week. This can be any four hours that fit into your schedule. The hours need not be in a row or on the weekends. During the summer, you must be logged on two hours each day, again, not necessarily in a row or on the weekend. Log on during hours that fit into your schedule.

How many hours per day/week are required for the online lecture?

  • During the school year, you are required to be online four hours per week for five consecutive weeks.
  • During the summer, you are required to be online 20 hours for the one week or required to be online 10 hours per week for two consecutive weeks.

Is the instructor online when I鈥檓 online?
Your instructor will have virtual office hours that are published on the course calendar. The instructor is online at various times throughout the course. Additionally, your instructor is available by phone and email.
