SUNY Oswego policy requires that in order to operate the college-owned 12-passenger vans, students must be 18 years of age, possess a valid U.S. driver’s license and complete a driver training session. This includes students who are responsible for transporting persons in the vans for departmental purposes such as academic field trips, residence life and housing programs, athletic contests and community service.
It is recommended, but not required, that faculty and staff complete the driver training prior to operating a 12-passenger van.
Training sessions are four hours in length and include both classroom and behind-the-wheel driving experience. There is no cost for the training. Training only needs to be completed once.
To register for van driver training, fill out the training registration form with your name and first two choices for training. Sessions are held from 8 a.m. to noon, and the dates for training are:
- Saturday, Oct. 7
- Saturday, Oct. 21
- Saturday, Oct. 28
You will receive a written confirmation of registration via email. There is a limit of six individuals per session. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Individual sessions may be canceled and/or rescheduled as necessary due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. Notice of cancellation will be sent to participants via email as early as possible, with the option of enrolling in another session whenever possible.
