Seat Time: The North Carolina Real Estate Commission requires a timing device for all distance education courses to ensure that courses cannot be completed in less time than the approved credit hours. Please note that your course will time out after several minutes of inactivity.
Expiration Date of Course: All CE courses must be completed within 30 days from registration or by June 10th. All courses MUST be completed by June 10th to ensure a timely renewal. It is very important to note that continuing education providers are not permitted to offer courses for CE credit between June 11 and June 30 of each year. Thus, you will not be able to access or complete your CE courses between June 11 and June 30 of each year.
Certificate: With few exceptions, online course completion certificates are available for download at course conclusion and posted directly to your dashboard account.
License Renewal Info: A recent law change requires all Broker licenses to be renewed on the North Carolina Real Estate Commission website.
Online Limitations
The 4 hours of mandatory coursework must be taken with an instructor in a live setting [in-person or virtual]. Only the 4 elective hours may be taken online.
Roster
Roster Process: Rosters are submitted electronically every Tuesday and Friday. During high volume periods, such as near renewal deadlines, rosters will be submitted daily.
Note from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission website - Licensees can check/review CE credits by going to the "Licensee Login" of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission Website. [Please allow 15 days after completion of a course for it to be posted to your record.]
Roster Sent: Every 7 days
