Submitting an application does not reserve a seat. DSC will confirm availability for your preferred date and format and explain any in-person driving requirements. Online class availability does not mean behind-the-wheel practice is online.
THE MISSISSIPPI TIMELINE
What changed, and when.
Mississippi Senate Bill 2695 set key dates for driver education. Here is what applicants and families need to know as the requirement takes effect.

JULY 1, 2026
Hardship license applicants
If you are applying for a hardship license, DPS has specific rules about which driver-education courses it will accept. Confirm your course with DPS before relying on it for an application.

Driver education at school

First-time licenses
Applicants who have never held a driver's license must complete a driver-education program certified by the State Board of Education or DPS before receiving a regular Mississippi driver's license.
Not limited to teensSources: DPS Driver Service Bureau and Mississippi SB 2695. Permit and hardship eligibility still depend on DPS rules.

GOOD QUESTIONS, CLEAR ANSWERS
Before you
take the wheel.
Questions about the new rules or which class you may need for your circumstances? Contact DSC or DPS. For guidance from DSC, schedule a consultation or email mercy@dscworks.com.
Does the 2027 rule apply only to teenagers?
No. The law addresses people who have not previously obtained a driver's license. A learner's permit for an eligible person under 18 is treated separately. Check DPS for your particular circumstances.
Do DSC's classes meet the new requirements?
Yes. DSC's DPS-approved driver-education classes meet Mississippi's new driver-education course requirements. Contact DSC or DPS with questions about the new rules or which class you may need for your circumstances. DPS handles your permit, testing, and licensing eligibility.
Do defensive driving or Alive at 25 count?
Defensive driving and Alive at 25 are distinct safety courses. Contact DSC or DPS with questions about whether a particular course meets your requirements and which class you may need for your circumstances. Do not assume these courses replace the required new-driver education program.
How can I enroll with DSC?
Choose an upcoming date and open the driver-education application. Complete the form and select Submit Application. Your application is submitted through this website for Tiffany Hathorn at DSC—no email app is needed. DSC will then confirm availability, your day, evening, or online option, fees, and enrollment steps. If you would like guidance before applying, schedule a consultation or email mercy@dscworks.com.
