2. Payment & Refunds
- Payment is required at the time of registration.
- Refunds must be requested in writing before the course begins (minus a $25 processing fee).
- No refunds are provided once instruction has started.
- Students must provide at least one hour's notice before the scheduled start time to cancel a session. Cancellations made with less than one hour's notice are subject to the session cancellation rules below.
3. Session Cancellations, No-Shows, and Replacement Sessions
The following rules apply to scheduled driving sessions:
- If a student has not arrived within 15 minutes after the scheduled start time, the session will be treated as a no-show and cancelled. No refund will be issued.
- If a student cancels after the scheduled start time and after the instructor has arrived at the designated pick-up location, the session will be cancelled without a refund.
- For the Under-18 Behind-the-Wheel and Adult Waiver licensing courses, a replacement session may be scheduled for a later date, subject to availability. If a replacement is available, an additional fee equal to the per-session cost will apply, calculated as the course price divided by the total number of sessions.
- For in-person driving training courses, a session cancelled by the student may or may not be replaced, depending on availability. A replacement session is not guaranteed.
