  3. Before any student will be allowed to drive a college vehicle, the student must complete a "Universal Vehicle Use" form.

  4. Students will be deemed eligible or ineligible to drive college vehicles based on  Minnesota State Guideline 5.19.3.1  Driver’s License Record Check.
  5. Students who are authorized to use a college vehicle must reserve a vehicle through the EMS scheduling program per college procedures.
