Please plan ahead and register early, classes will fill fast! Driver's Education information is subject to change at ANY TIME. Prepare your future driver for the permit test, the State of Minnesota Graduated Driver’s License Test (GDL) and a lifetime of driving. Class fee includes 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. Students MUST attend the 1st day of class or a waitlisted student will be allowed to take their seat. If your spot is filled due to your absence you will need to contact our office to move your registration to a future class. PARENTS MUST CREATE AN ACCOUNT FIRST AND THEN "CREATE A RELATIONSHIP AND ATTACH THEIR STUDENT TO THEIR ACCOUNT. Early bird registration fee of $335 ends 2 weeks prior to the start date of class. After that, the price increases to $360. Deadline to register for class is 1 week prior to the start date of class. Upon successful completion of the class, there may be an opportunity for students to take their permit test on the last day of class. In the event that is possible we will need your student's social security number. You will be asked to provide it upon registration. If your student is not eligible to take the permit test in class, they will need to make arrangements to take the written permit test on their own. Testing locations and information can be found on our website here. The instructor will communicate to students if in class testing will be an option. SUPPLIES NEEDED TO BRING TO CLASS EACH DAY: pen, pencil, and highlighter. **Students will have two (2) weeks, from the classroom completion date, to complete any outstanding course work. If course material is not completed within two (2) weeks, the student will not receive their blue card to test for their permit due to failure to complete the course in the allocated time. They would then need to contact the Community Education office to be re-enrolled in the next available class, and repeat the entire drivers education class. No refunds will be given.
