60 NSU Student Handbook 2012–2013 Use of University Vehicles Nova Southeastern University policy mandates that all personnel, staff, and students who either are required to or wish to use an NSU van must first successfully complete the Van Driver Training course provided by NSU Public Safety. The Public Safety Department provides as its van driver training course the most current version available, Coaching the Van Driver II, which is offered by FLI Learning Systems, Inc. Prior to contacting Public Safety, a supervisor must first contact the director of risk management at (954) 262-5271 to determine a person’s eligibility to drive an NSU van. After receiving approval, an appointment can then be made with Jim Ewing, Public Safety-Safety Compliance, at (954) 262-8082, or at jewing@nsu.nova.edu . The van training program is available most weekdays, during daytime hours, instead of just once a month during the evening. Upon satisfactorily passing the Van Driver II training, the person will receive a certificate of completion as well as an identification card, which is used to sign out an NSU van from the Physical Plant.
