The policy for students driving University vehicles has changed!

Authorized Driver:

  • must be employees of the University of Minnesota or be a sponsored driver on official University business
  • must be at least 19 years of age and possess a valid US or Canadian drivers license, no international licenses
  • must avoid any act of propriety when using University-identified vehicles or traveling on University business
  • must obey all state laws and federal regulations concerning driving practices and the use and operation of vehicles

Sponsored Driver:

Any non-salaried person under the direct supervision of a department head or the Faculty Advisor for registered student organizations.  A letter authorizing sponsored drivers must be filed with Fleet Services before drivers are permitted to drive University vehicles.  Governed by same rules and standards as authorized drive (see above).

  • Any person not on payroll is a volunteer (student or even a person from the community).  For volunteers, follow this procedures:
    1. The faculty member gives the department head the list of potential drivers and their drivers license number (NOTE:  The faculty member needs to see the valid license, not just record a drivers license number.)
    2. The department head is the one that gives approval of each volunteer.  Driver must be a minimum of 19 years of age and have a valid drivers license.
    3. The department head, after giving approval, forwards the information to Bill Roberts, director of Fleet Services <rober029@umn.edu>.
