Student Classroom Expectations

Obtaining a driver’s license and driving a car is a privilege that comes with serious responsibility. The following is a list of expectations students must abide by, in order to attend and pass this class:

I understand that driving a car is a privilege that comes with serious responsibilities. I will respect my instructor, the guidelines for the classroom and the method of teaching that is presented to me.
I will attend every class session, be on time, and fully engaged in learning at each class session.
I will be prepared to learn every day by bring my study materials and a writing utensil.
I will communicate with my instructor. I understand my instructor wants me to succeed and pass this class. I will advocate for myself by asking questions if I do not understand the material presented.
I will take care of myself by bringing a snack and drink (if needed) to have during our short class breaks.
I will use self-control and put my cell phone away during class time. (Not only does cell phone use disrupt learning, it is illegal and deadly to use while driving. If you cannot exercise the self-control to put your phone away during class, then you are not ready to attend this class. Our instructors reserve the right to confiscate phones)
I understand that failure to follow these expectations may result in the student being removed from class and that class tuition fees will not be refunded if I am removed from class or if I do not complete the 30-hours of scheduled class time.
