How students book and cancel drives
What you'll do
You will book from the student dashboard, not a pickup-location wizard. Parents see the appointment on the parent portal. They cannot book for the student.
Open My drives
On the student dashboard, open My drives (under Schedule & tasks). On a phone, Schedule in the bottom bar opens the calendar; My drives is the booking list. If the school turned Student scheduling off, you will see that the school schedules your sessions.
Schedule Drive
Use Schedule drive, Schedule now, or Schedule next drive. The Schedule Drive dialog has three steps: instructor, date, then time. Confirm with Schedule Drive. There is no pickup location step.
Cancel from Manage Drive
Open the scheduled lesson → Manage Drive (or Manage session) → Cancel Drive, then confirm Yes, Cancel Drive. Cancel at least 24 hours before the start to avoid the school's drive cancellation fine. The slot goes back on the calendar for someone else to book. There is no waitlist text.
If Schedule Drive is blocked
Common blocks are: Student scheduling off, no learner permit on the record, not enough of the payment plan paid yet, unpaid fines, already booked a drive that calendar day, or the previous curriculum drive is not complete. Pay from Payments → Make a payment, or ask the school to record cash.
Tip
One behind-the-wheel session per calendar day. If you already have a drive today, pick another day.
