Driver Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Point Evaluation Policy
All students who expect to drive College vehicles are required to provide a certified copy of their driving record, also known as an MVR, on an annual basis in order to establish their status as an authorized College driver.
Students with US driver’s licenses who are interested in becoming authorized drivers must submit their driving record to Fleet Vehicle Services. Driving records can be obtained from your home state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.
A driver must not exceed 14 points for accidents and/or traffic violations in the most recent 36 months to remain eligible. Any driver with 15 or more points will lose their driving privilege. Points will be credited (removed) for vehicle safety training — five points for attendance at an approved alcohol education class (only as a result of points incurred due to an alcohol related offense), and three points for attendance at an approved defensive driving course.
The following violation point system is used as a guide to determine the eligibility of a driver of a college vehicle:
| Violation | Points |
|---|---|
| Driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence Refusal of breath test Reckless driving Criminal vehicular homicide Leaving the scene of an accident Driving after license revocation or suspension Open Bottle Any other violation deemed severe enough to warrant suspension of driving privileges | 15 |
| Careless driving | 12 |
| Speeding 19 mph or more over the speed limit Failure to report an accident in a timely manner Any preventable accident involving bodily injury and medical treatment beyond first aid at the scene of the accident | 7.5 |
| Any other moving violations All other preventable accidents | 5 |
