STEP 1: At the age of 15, students can go with a parent/guardian to the DLD to take the written test in order to get their permit. They must have their birth certificate, proof of residency, and social security card in order to take the test. The cost is $20.

STEP 2: Students can register for Drivers Ed. Class after receiving their permits. All classes will be taught online through Canvas using the students school email account (see instructions to the right). Use the Registration link at the right to register for the class. The $175 Drivers Ed Fee must be paid through the school finance office BEFORE you register. IF the link says Closed, a class is currently in session. Registration will open again the last week of the current quarter for the next quarters class.

***Priority is given to students enrolled in the PVHS online class. The required 40 hour driving log is still required even if a student took the class elsewhere (i.e. Utah Online). Student is responsible to get permit info to the instructor.***

IMPORTANT: As soon as the student receives a registration email from Canvas, ALL OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION is contained in the Canvas course.

STEP 3: Students should be driving with their parent/guardian when they get their permit. They should obtain a minimum of 40 hours of driving, and 10 of those hours should be at night. Skills that need to be covered are parking, backing up, turning, signaling, driving on the freeway, etc. Students must turn in the original driving log before a driving time can be assigned. 

STEP 4: Students will be assigned to an instructor based on instructor availability. Once assigned to an instructor, that instructor will reach out to the student to schedule the sessions. Contacting the instructor is not needed or necessary. Students will drive with a driving instructor a minimum of five sessions and observe other drivers. 

***Students will be scheduled to complete their driving as close to their 16th birthday as possible, but it is NOT GUARANTEED due to many various circumstances.***

STEP 5: Students will be tested by a different instructor than the one they did the required sessions with and must pass with an 80% or higher. 

STEP 6: After passing the driving test, students will be able to get their license at the DLD. The cost is $30.
