Course Structure
The course design is dictated by the California Department of Real Estate and requires you to demonstrate mastery of the subject matter in one chapter of the course before progressing to the next. This means:
1. The online chapter quizzes are mandatory.
2. You must advance through the online chapter quizzes in a linear fashion and you cannot advance to the next chapter quiz until the previous chapter's reading assignment and chapter quiz has been completed.
3. You cannot access the course final examination and complete the course until all chapter quizzes have been completed and the minimum time* has elapsed. When you complete the last chapter quiz you receive a link to the Final Examination.
Time-To-Complete
Maximum Time to Complete
The MAXIMUM time allowed for completion of the course(s) is one year from the date of enrollment. If you do not complete all of the courses in your package within one year, re-enrollment for another year would be required at the full course fee to continue.*
*Textbooks Are Subject To Change Without Notice: Periodically, the textbook publisher comes out with a new edition of an existing textbook. You will be required to purchase the current textbook(s) if you exceed the maximum one-year enrollment period and wish to re-enroll.
Minimum Time to Complete
The DRE allows each course to be completed in a MINIMUM time of 2.5 weeks (18 calendar days) from the date you receive the course material. The MAXIMUM time we allow for completion of the course is 1 year from the date of enrollment.
The 2.5 week rule dictates how quickly you can take the final exam and complete each course. For example, the absolute fastest you can complete two courses is 5 weeks. REMEMBER, the rule is: 2.5 weeks (18 calendar days) from the date you receive the book for each course. If you still have questions about how fast you can complete your course(s), please call the school for clarification.
Extension Policy
Course enrollment lasts one year from the date of enrollment. Extensions are not available. After one year, you must repurchase the course to continue.
Final Examination And Passing The Course
In order for you to pass this course, you will be required to take and pass an online final examination (100 multiple-choice, 2.5 hours, 60% or better to pass, open book). Participation in online group study does not contribute to course hours. Attendance is not required.
What Happens If You Fail A Final Exam?
If you do not pass the final exam on the first try, DRE allows you one re-take immediately. If you fail a second time, Please note that A student who fails the re-examination cannot receive credit for the course. The student is not barred from enrolling and completing the same course but must retake the course and pass the final examination to complete the course and receive a course completion certificate. Be aware that the questions on the re-take exam will be completely different from the questions on the original final exam.
Course Completion
Completion of a course includes taking and passing the course final examination. The final examination must be taken no later than the last day of the course enrollment period.
Course Completion Certificate
If you are enrolled in more than one course, we will email one course completion certificate at the conclusion of your last course, showing all courses completed. If you would like individual completion certificates or otherwise need your completion certificates prior to finishing all the courses in the package, we would be happy to issue your certificates immediately upon request.
Identification for Final Exam
You must enter a current driver's license number as a means of identification prior to accessing the final examination. By entering your driver's license number you are affirming, under penalty of perjury, that you are the student registered for this course and that you personally will complete the final examination. Any violation of this section will result in revocation of the completion certificate for this course and will be reported to the California Department of Real Estate.
