Driving for DU

Driving Procedures, MVR Check and Driver Safety Training

All faculty, staff, students and other persons who drive vehicles on behalf of the University must have their motor vehicle record (MVR) checked and complete the online driver safety training course. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for driving privileges to be granted.

Follow the three steps below to drive for the University. You must authorize the MVR check and complete the online Driver Safety Fundamentals course within 2 weeks of our initial contact, or we will clear you from our queue.

    Driving Record Check

    Pursuant to the DU Driving Procedures, all faculty, staff, students and other persons who drive vehicles for the University must have a satisfactory motor vehicle record (MVR). To complete an MVR check, follow these two steps:

    1.  Request an MVR check and provide the following information:
      1. Your name
      2. Your DU email address
      3. Your division and department
    2. Second, authorize your MVR check by using the link in the email invitation sent to you from HireRight; this email will likely go to your junk/spam folder.

    Criteria used to determine whether an MVR is acceptable to allow for DU driving privileges are found in the DU Driving Procedures.

15-passenger van

Use of 15-Passenger Vans

For the safety of the University’s drivers and passengers, 15-passenger vans may not be used to conduct University business or for any other University purpose, except as expressly approved in writing by the Office of Enterprise Risk Management.

Restrictions include rentals in any country and are specific to the type of van, not the number of passengers (i.e., a 15-passenger van is not permitted even if it carries less than 15 passengers). Restrictions include 12-passenger vans originally manufactured to carry 15 passengers and modified by removing a row of seats.

To request an exception to the University’s prohibition on using a 15-passenger van to conduct University business or for any other University purpose, review the University's 15-Passenger Van Exceptions and Expectations, and follow the instructions therein.

DU golf carts

Driving Golf Carts

If DU community members will only be driving golf carts, and not any other vehicles, they may follow DU Golf Cart Procedures. 

The Golf Cart Procedures are provided pursuant to, and should be read in conjunction with, DU’s Use of University Vehicles Policy.

Other Safety Training Programs

Check DU's Environmental Health & Safety website for training for University employees covering a number of general safety topics. Because of the hazards associated with their job duties, many DU employees are required by law to attend safety training. Some training is offered online and usually requires a short quiz to be taken to verify comprehension.
