Defensive Driving for Student Organizations
Our office administers a defensive driving program for current Emory University students who need to drive a rented vehicle on behalf of a student organization. This program is in place to reduce the likelihood of accidents, while increasing the safety of our roads. Only students who have received written permission from Emory University will be allowed to drive vehicles owned, rented or leased by the University.
All Emory University employees may go through a similar process by contacting Human Resources.
The certification process is simple:
- Give Emory consent to check your driving record by completing and submitting the Driving Record Consent form and the Safe Driver Enrollment Form. If your license was issued from the state of California, you will have to fill out this additional form. Due to the sensitive information on the form(s), please drop the form(s) off in our office, Dobbs University Center, room 340E. It takes 2-4 business days to check a driving record.
- Keep in mind that approval will be granted only to persons who are at least 18 years of age, have at least two years of driving experience and possess a valid driver's license for the class of vehicle to be driven. Rental company policies may vary, and if different from the requirements outlined in this policy, supersede these requirements.
- When you submit the necessary forms, please also include an FAS account number or a check in the amount of $40 (made payable to Emory University).
- If there is nothing objectionable found in your recent driving history, you will be contacted by our office with an access code to take an online defensive driving course. This course is sponsored by the National Safety Council. The National Safety Council will certify students who successfully complete the course. This course can be used to receive further discounts on your auto insurance.
