What is required to complete driver training?

Five parts must be completed before you can drive any college vehicle:

This 6-hour option gives you a 10% discount on your auto insurance for three years and up to 4 points may be reduced from your license. Any fees for this option are your responsibility and won't be paid/reimbursed by Nazareth University.

Part 2: Approved Driver Orientation and Safety Training (Moodle Course)
