Summer Opportunities!

It's not too soon to start planning for Summer 2016.  The Wake Forest University Summer Immersion Program offers rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors the chance to dive deep and explore a particular field of study. Those selected for the program will enjoy access to world-class faculty, resources, industry professionals and a one-of-a-kind view from inside a career field.

The 2016 Summer Immersion Program will be offered in Winston-Salem as a residential program and in Charlotte as a non-residential program. The Wake Forest Charlotte Campus will feature six institutes: Business and Entrepreneurship, Law, Leadership, Medicine, Sports Marketing,  andTechnology. Each session will feature a day trip to the Wake Forest University campus in Winston-Salem. The Winston-Salem residential program will offer two institutes: Business and Entrepreneurship and Medicine. Each institute will accept a select number of students. Tuition includes lunch, books and supplies, all institute-sponsored field trips and activities, as well as transportation.

Driver's education is the first step in the graduated licensing process for North Carolina teenagers. The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires all teens younger than 18 years old to complete Driver's Ed before they can apply for their NC learner's permit.

Driver's Ed will help you get your learner's permit, and eventually your driver's license, by teaching you how to drive safely and responsibly.

NC Driver's Ed Eligibility Requirements

In North Carolina, you must take driver's education before applying for your learner's permit.

To enroll in a NC Driver's Ed course, you must:

• Be at least 14 1/2 years old.
• Have your birth certificate or a valid passport.
• Currently be enrolled in high school and on your way to earning your high school diploma or its equivalent.
  OR
• Show sufficient evidence that if you don't receive a driver's license, you and your family would suffer significant hardship.
