Minors must register in person with parent/guardian at the Dreisbach/Anderson Student Success Center, Barton Campus, Building 102, 506 South Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville SC. Hours are M-Th, 8AM to 5PM and Fridays 8AM to 1PM. Minors who attempt to register online without prior consent will forfeit their seat in class AND lose their registration fee. No exceptions to this rule.

This course was developed by the National Safety Council (NSC) and is taught by NSC-certified instructors.  This course is accepted by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) and is certified for four-point reduction. A reduction in points may only be made one time in a three-year period.

If taking the course for point-reduction, it must be taken after the points have been assessed, which generally occurs after the court date for a violation.  You may get a summary of your driving record points for free online at https://www.scdmvonline.com/Driver-Services/Drivers-License/Driving-Record.   All technical college point reduction rosters are submitted weekly to the SC DMV. If time is critical in the point reduction process, the Completion Certificate should be hand-delivered to the Driver Service Window at 1630 Shop Road in Columbia, SC.
