REFUND POLICY

Deposits and payments are non refundable. Students may transfer deposit to another class date if they are unable to attend the original class as long as it is not within 24 hours of original class starting. Please call as soon as possible if you or your child will not be able to attend any class. Cancellations within 24 hours of class beginning will result in loss of deposit.

CERTIFICATES

Blue Line Driving Academy does not issue "classroom only" certificates, with the exception being for the reason of physical handicap needs. Please keep this in mind when registering, as we do not accommodate our students driving at different locations. If you wish to take the classroom portion and the driving portion at different schools, then Blue Line is not the place for you. Certificates will only be issued after the classroom and driving portions of the course are completed.

ABSENCE

If any necessary absence occurs during the classroom portion of instruction contact the office to work out when the class time can be made up. If a student misses any classroom portion the class must be made up at an additional fee of $60 per day. No certificate will be awarded until the course requirements are met.

Class/Driving Cancellation

Classes or Driving sessions can be cancelled in the event of extreme inclement weather  (i.e. hurricane, tornado, etc…) which puts our students in danger. Blue Line Driving Academy staff will contact the students regarding rescheduling.

Grievance policy

You will find that Blue Line Driving Academy will strive to settle any issues. Any grievance(s) not resolved by the school may be forwarded to the Department of Public Safety Corrections, Office of Motor Vehicles, Attention: CDL and Commercial Driving Schools Unit, P.O. Box 64886, Baton Rouge, LA 70896.

STANDARD OF BEHAVIOR

Students are expected to arrive on time and maintain a courteous and respectful attitude. Cheating will not be tolerated. Any student caught cheating will be asked to leave. Cell phones are not permitted to be used during class room or driving time unless directed. Any cell phone usage during this time will result in student’s removal from the class without a refund.
