Drivers planning to attend a class must register and have paid the $10 registration fee online. Drivers will not be able to take the class without meeting these requirements and being on participant list. There will be no admission after the class has begun.
Cancellations will only be accepted and refunds issued if participants call the ROE four (4) business days before the date of the class or if the class is canceled.
