TO BE ELIGIBLE TO ENROLL IN THE ONLINE ADULT REMEDIAL COURSE, YOU MUST:
• Be at least 18 years old,
• Have access to the Internet,
• Complete the online registration form on the next page, and
• Pay the registration fee.
* On the online registration form on the next page, students must provide an email address that will not block messages, such as a .com or .net domain. School email addresses are not recommended, as most school servers block external links and unapproved emails.
** Before a Completion Certificate can be issued, the student must have an Ohio Learner’s Permit, and the Learner’s Permit Number must be entered in the student file. If a valid number is missing at the time of course completion, certificate issuance will be delayed. Students will be reminded to verify this information before beginning the Final Exam.
*** On the Registration Page, all information entered must exactly match your Learner’s Permit, Driver’s License, or State ID, including the first, middle, and last name. Nicknames, abbreviations, or missing names are not allowed.

COURSE TIME REQUIREMENTS & TIMERS
• The course covers the State-mandated eight (8) hours of course content.
• 8 hours is the minimum course time requirement; there is no maximum.
• All coursework, including the Final Exam, must be completed within 30 days of beginning the course.
• If the course is not completed within this timeframe, you will be required to restart the course, and a reinstatement fee of $32.50 will apply.
Four timers are built into this course:
1. Login Time – Total time you are logged into the course, regardless of work completed.
2. Course Time – Time spent actively completing the course content (reading, watching videos, or taking Tests). Being logged in without working does not count.
3. Consecutive Time Limit – If you are logged in for 2 consecutive hours, the system will automatically log you out. You must take a mandatory 10-minute break before logging back in.
4. Idle Time Setting – If there is 15 minutes of inactivity, the system will log you out. Idle time does not count toward your course time.
COURSE TIME VS LOGIN TIME
Course Time is the only time that counts toward Ohio's required 8 hours of Online Driver Training. Course Time is ACTIVE participation (completing pages, tests, videos, etc.).
Login Time is any time you are logged in. Being logged in without completing coursework does not count toward the 8-hour requirement.
*A countdown timer on the Welcome Page displays the number of days remaining to complete the course. If the timer reaches zero, the course will be locked, and you will be required to restart from the beginning. A reinstatement fee of $32.50 will apply.
