Students may reschedule prior to the start of the first day of class if they are unable to attend the scheduled class.
• CLASS ABSENCE POLICY:

If a student misses or cancels a scheduled driving session without 24 hours prior notice a fee of $50 will be charged to cover the instructor's costs. In the event that a student has to be moved to a later class date, and notice is given less than 3 days prior to the class start time an administrative fee of $75 will be charged to his/her account.

Students may also arrange for additional classes or class period to prepare to retake the exam for an additional fee of $50.00/class. Certificates will be held until all fees are paid. Driving is a privilege which should be taken very serious and students are urged to ask as many questions needed to fully understand any and all material. If a student has any sort of disability that should hinder them, please notify Jennifer’s Driving School prior to enrolling.
• DRIVING STRUCTURE POLICY:
Once a student has successfully completed his or her thirty (30) hour class along with successfully passing the final exam, the student will then be trained in a dual-brake training vehicle. Prior to a student beginning the driving portion, a parent or guardian must sign the Commercial School Instruction Permit. Students are scheduled in four two-hour blocks on different days.
• DRIVING DELAY POLICY:
Our instructors strive to work as fast as possible so that an extended wait period is avoided. We work closely with each family’s schedule. Inclement weather delays our drivers. Due to popularity, the wait time can take as long as a few months. The summer along with holidays are considered the busy season so we encourage families to consider the wait during these times when enrolling.
• MISSED/CANCELED DRIVING POLICY:
If a student misses or cancels a scheduled driving session without reasonable notice (24-hour prior notice) a cash fee of $50.00 will be charged to cover the instructor costs. Certificates will be held until all fees are paid. No certificate will be awarded until the course requirements are met.
