Van Training

In order for faculty, staff and students to be eligible to operate university vans, a defensive driving training course must be completed. The course consists of an application, classroom instruction and a road test. To qualify to take the course, drivers must be at least nineteen years old and have three years of driving experience. Drivers must be in good standing with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Faculty and staff can operate a (6) passenger van without completing van training, but you must complete an application for the Office of Business, Finance and Technology.

To be eligible for certification you must meet the following criteria:

  • Possessed a license for at least three years (not including provisionary license)
  • Be at least 19 years old
  • Be at least a Sophomore
  • Have a good driving history (as designated by our insurance carrier).
  • Note: Freshmen are not allowed to operate university vehicles.

Please complete the Driver Application Form as soon as possible, before training, and return to the Moseley Front Desk.
