Drivers Education Program
Overview
Driver’s Education is offered at Regis High School at no additional cost to our families. The course is open to any Regis student who has not received an Oregon Driver’s License.
- Cost: The program is included in your child’s educational offerings. There are no additional fees.
- Course Length: Approximately 9 weeks (class must be completed in a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 180 days per ODOT requirements)
- A minimal number of “behind the wheel drives” will take place during other classes. A schedule will be created in advance, and arrangements will be made with the classroom teacher of the impacted class.
- Students who complete the class will receive credit for the DMV in-car driving test. Once you successfully complete the Regis Drivers Education Program, you will be fully qualified to get your physical license at the DMV.

- Students are required to complete 30 hours of classroom instruction.
- Students are required to complete six hours of driving instruction and must observe another student driver for six hours.
