COURSE SCHEDULE

AAA, hereafter referred to as the COURSE PROVIDER, offers a course composed of 8 training units. Once the online course has been successfully completed and the in-person final exam passed, an MVA Client Completion Form will be provided to the student.

This availability may be affected by circumstances such as, but not limited to: system, site or connectivity failure over which the COURSE PROVIDER has no control.

PROCTORED TESTING

Due to MVA program requirements, you are required to take your Maryland Driver Improvement Program Final Exam in person, at one of our designated Testing Locations. Please note your final exam will be administered electronically using YOUR smartphone, tablet or laptop. Therefore, you must bring a smartphone, tablet or laptop - that has cellular network connectivity or Wi‐Fi capabilities, with you to your AAA testing location. Wi‐Fi enabled devices can access the Internet using AAA's wireless network. You must bring the following with you to your AAA test location: 1) Your driver's license or a government issued photo ID, 2) MVA Assignment Letter 3) Smartphone, tablet or laptop on which to complete your exam. Failure to bring any of these items may result in you not being allowed to complete your final exam.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

The COURSE PROVIDER prescribes minimum hardware and software requirements for completing the course. Minimum browser requirements are the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) 9.0 or greater, Firefox, Google Chrome, or any other browsers that provide equal or greater functionality. The browsers need to support Java and Javascript. The minimum hardware required is such that it should be able to support the software configuration listed above. The course requires the use of a pointing device such as a mouse. The course recommends that the hardware be equipped with speakers. All students will go through the software evaluation after registration, but prior to the start of the course.

COMPLETION AND CERTIFICATION POLICY

The STUDENT agrees to complete all phases of the approved curriculum in order to receive a MVA client completion form. Any time missed must be made up. The COURSE PROVIDER is prohibited from issuing a client completion form if the STUDENT has not met all the requirements for course completion and a STUDENT shall not accept a completion form under such circumstances.

STUDENT may be required to pay fees to COURSE PROVIDER if through no fault of COURSE PROVIDER, STUDENT requests a duplicate and/or reissue of the original certificate of completion.

GRADING AND PROGRESS POLICY

The STUDENT agrees that they may not be certified or given credit for the course unless they score 80% or higher on the final exam. Alternative testing techniques for students with reading, hearing or learning handicaps and policies for re-testing students who score less than 80% will be a) review of material; b) translation, if necessary or possible; and c) re-testing, verbally if necessary. A STUDENT that fails to score at least 80% on the final exam will be required to re-test on another day. STUDENT will be required to pay a re-testing fee to COURSE PROVIDER before another exam will be administered.

CIRCUMVENTION WARNING

The STUDENT agrees that HE/SHE, and not any other person, will study the material in its entirety and complete the chapter quizzes and the final exam.
