IMPORTANT DMV WAIVER UPDATE: The DMV now requires applicants to pass the SC motorcycle permit test before processing DMV waiver paperwork earned through this course.
It’s best to obtain a motorcycle permit from the DMV before class. You must pass a multiple choice test at the DMV to get your permit. A valid SC motorcycle permit is required for testing at the end of class. If your permit has expired, retake the written test at the DMV—though they won’t issue a new permit, your passing score will be recorded so you can attend class. For DMV issues, call (864) 881-2031.

The process is straightforward and does not require a fee if the point summary option is selected.
eCourse Required:
Check your registration date email from “noreply-res@msf-usa.org” for your eCourse reservation, username, and password. If you can’t find it, contact URT at (864) 881-2031.
The eCourse takes up to 6 hours and can be completed in sections. We recommend 1–2 hour sessions; your progress will be saved each time.

The DMV permits up to a 4-point reduction on a South Carolina license upon completion of certain MSF rider courses. Unused points do not carry over and driver/riders can only use this program once every three years.
