Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before you start. Takes a few minutes to set up, and then the course is ready when you are.

Work Through the Course Material

Read through text and image-based lessons, pass the quiz at the end of each section to advance, and take a required 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction. Break time does not count toward your required hours. Your progress saves automatically on the server after each section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

Complete 8 hours of instruction, then take the 40-question state-provided final exam. You need a 75% to pass. Pass it and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate as an instant digital PDF to submit to the Summit County BMV or your court.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Questions Cuyahoga Falls Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record 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 under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers a court has ordered to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered students do not receive the 2-point credit. Everyone else submits the certificate to the Summit County BMV Deputy Registrar on Graham Road in Cuyahoga Falls.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What it does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, giving you a cushion before the next ticket could push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it, and you can only earn it once every three years, with a lifetime cap of five times. After passing, submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate to the Cuyahoga Falls Deputy Registrar on Graham Road or directly to the Ohio BMV to get the credit applied to your record.

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

The state sets a hard 30-day completion window under current ODPS guidelines. Miss that deadline and two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to the Ohio BMV, and you have to start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your previous progress counts. For drivers on a suspension, that also means your license stays suspended longer while you restart. For court-ordered cases, the open requirement stays on the books. The practical move is to pace yourself across the first two weeks and leave the final exam for week three or four. The Summit County BMV office on Graham Road in Cuyahoga Falls processes reinstatements, so the sooner the certificate lands there, the sooner your record updates.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam, and where do I send it?

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF, available to download immediately. No waiting for mail, no processing delay. For a 2-point credit or suspension reinstatement, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The closest option for Cuyahoga Falls residents is the Deputy Registrar office on Graham Road, roughly 10 minutes from most parts of the city. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Summit County Clerk of Courts at the courthouse in Akron, about 5 miles south of Cuyahoga Falls. Keep a copy of the certificate for your own records regardless of which office receives it, as required under current Ohio BMV requirements.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day, as required under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day clock resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and are there specifically to prepare you for the final. Take them seriously, especially the sections on driver attitude and alcohol and drug content, which together make up at least half the state-mandated curriculum. Cuyahoga Falls students can contact the provider through TrafficSchool.net before attempting the exam a second time.

Does completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my driving record?

No. Completing the course does not remove points or wipe violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course provides, for eligible drivers with 2 to 11 points, is a 2-point credit applied by the Ohio BMV after you submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate. That credit lowers your active point total by two, which can be the difference between staying licensed and hitting the 12-point suspension threshold on your next ticket. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the certificate satisfies the requirement and allows the BMV or court to move forward, but the underlying violations stay on the record. Submit your certificate to the Cuyahoga Falls Deputy Registrar on Graham Road to start that process.
