Student Drivers

Students may transport passengers for a school-sponsored event if the driver is 21 or older. It is recommended that drivers have full coverage auto insurance (if driving a personal vehicle). Southern does not cover damage to personal vehicles used for school-sponsored events. Drivers must have a valid U.S. driver’s license.

Students may be approved to use university vehicles for school-sponsored events. For information about renting university vehicles, visit Transportation Services.
