Motorcycle Program

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delta College sponsors a Motorcycle Safety program in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Education.Upon successful completion of our state-approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation course, the Secretary of State may waive the riding skills test required for a cycle endorsement.  In addition, you must take a Motorcycle Safety course if you fail the state skills test twice or if you are under 18 years of age.  

Delta College currently has 20 nationally certified MSF Rider Coaches on staff. Their instruction experience ranges from 1 to 19 years. All are veteran riders, some with over 40 years of riding experience. This spring and summer Delta College LifeLong Learning will be offering courses in Motorcycle Novice and Experienced Rider.

 

Requirements for Motorcycle Safety & Experienced Rider Courses:

1. Driver’s license, if 15 years of age - permit & waiver form (on website)
2. D.O.T. approved helmet*
3. Long pants only - no shorts (jeans are suggested)
4. Boots - no high heels or tennis shoes (ankles must be covered)
5. Eye protection - goggles or face shield
6. Gloves - sturdy and full fingered

Failure to bring any of these materials will prohibit you from participating in class.

*Delta College acknowledges that the State of Michigan's motorcycle helmet law has changed, but it is still a requirement to wear a D.O.T. approved helmet while participating in any Motorcycle Safety Foundation course

If you are already registered for a class and would like to register for another section, please be aware that the non-transferable/non-refundable policy is in effect and you will have to re-pay the $25 course fee when registering.  Due to the high demand for this program, Delta College LifeLong Learning makes every effort to fill open seats - registered students must arrive on time or risk losing their seat to "stand-by" candidates.

 

Standby Registration Process for Motorcycle Safety

Due to an overwhelming response, we have limited space in our 2012 Motorcycle Safety Courses.  However, there are instances where students are unable to attend the course and a seat may become available for “Standby Registration.” 

Potential standby students need to report to the preferred class session approximately 15 minutes before the class start and identify themselves to the instructor as a “standby student”  (Report to Room S221 or S225).   While it’s hard to predict how many no-shows there will be and also how many standby students will show up, the instructor will register standbys into unfilled seats.   There are no guarantees for entry – if we have more standby students than no shows, the instructor will draw 50/50 tickets to determine which students are admitted.  Note:  If registered on standby, the $25.00 course fee is due on the first day of class (cash or check only).  If you have questions regarding this process please call (989) 686-9444.
