Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity check is a current Ohio BMV requirement before any coursework begins. Clinton residents in Summit County go through the same state enrollment process as everyone else.

Work Through the Course Material

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up later without losing ground. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass, and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the BMV for your point credit or to the Summit County Clerk of Courts for a court-ordered case.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record sitting at 9 or 10 points can push it past 12 and trigger a suspension before this course is finished. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to complete the course. Miss that window and you pay the reinstatement fee again and start over from the beginning.

How Long This Actually Takes

The state sets an 8-hour floor. Here is what that looks like depending on how you take the course.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Work through the 8-hour minimum across multiple sessions within your 30-day window, logging in and out as your schedule allows.
In-Person Classroom Sit through a full scheduled session in one block, then drive back from wherever the classroom is located, often outside Clinton.

What This Costs You

The online course is a single flat charge. Compare that to what an in-person session adds up to once you factor in travel.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course $76.00 total, certificate included, no extra fees for quiz retakes or PDF delivery of your BMV Form 5789.
In-Person Classroom Classroom fee plus fuel and time driving to Akron or another city, since no dedicated remedial classroom operates in Clinton itself.

Finish the Course on Any Device

The course runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Progress saves server-side after every section, so closing the browser mid-lesson does not cost you your place. Clinton has spotty coverage on some stretches of Route 619, so the save feature matters more than it sounds.

Questions Clinton Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five categories of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive the 2-point credit. Clinton residents in Summit County fall under the same state eligibility rules. Confirm your specific reason before enrolling so you submit the certificate to the right place.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving record?

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove any violation from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, giving you a cushion before the next ticket pushes you past 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. If you are sitting at 9 points right now and driving Route 94 through Summit County daily, that 2-point buffer is real protection. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Clinton Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV to apply the credit to your record.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days?

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and more money out of pocket. The 30-day window is not a soft guideline. Clinton drivers who work long shifts or travel for work need to map out their sessions early in the enrollment period rather than cramming everything into the final week. Log in within the first few days and get through at least the first two hours to build momentum before the deadline pressure builds.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

Pass the final exam and you get your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF immediately. There is no waiting period, no processing delay, and no mailing window. You can download and submit it the same day you finish. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Clinton Deputy Registrar office on Portage Lakes Drive in Akron, which serves Summit County residents including Clinton, can process the submission. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Summit County Clerk of Courts, located at 205 South High Street in Akron, roughly 12 miles from Clinton. Confirm current submission procedures with the BMV or court before you go, as requirements can update under current ODPS guidelines.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window continues running from your original enrollment date, not from the reset. That combination of a shrinking window and a full restart is the reason it pays to take the lesson quizzes seriously before you sit for the final. The quizzes have unlimited free retakes and cover the same material. Use them. Clinton drivers who treat the quizzes as optional tend to be the ones staring at a reset screen on attempt two.

Does finishing this course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to your current total, reducing it by 2 points. The underlying violations stay on the record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, the course satisfies the reinstatement requirement but does not clear the record of the points that caused the suspension. For court-ordered drivers, no credit applies at all. The practical value is protecting your driving privileges going forward, not rewriting what already happened. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV or Summit County Clerk of Courts depending on your situation.
