​

**Scheduling Policy: Students/Adults must provide at least 24 hours notice to instructors to cancel, or re-schedule an in-car session. Instructors will attempt to accommodate in-car instruction times that are acceptable for both instructor and student/adult. However, if a mutual time frame cannot be set, the student/adult may be reassigned to a different instructor and likely incur a wait period. A record shall be kept for cancellations, or re-schedules and after two, the student/adult will be marked as a “No Show”. One ”No Show” will remand the student to the back of the instructor's current list, and they will be given a 2nd opportunity to drive at a later date. Two “No Shows” without 24 hour notice will result in the student/adult being considered to have quit the program and the student will not be issued a Course Completion Certificate, adults may forfeit the fee for that session.
