CE Hours or Not for Credit Hours
Where a course (or courses) is approved for state CE credit, the hours of approval will be reflected under the "Elective" or "Mandatory/Core" column headings in the respective catalog it was ordered from. If there are hours listed ONLY in the "Total" column, the course does NOT carry any CE credit.
Technical System Requirements
Courses are delivered through a secure and proprietary Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS is accessible online through common internet browsers - Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. An internet connection is required (high speed is recommended but not required).
Enrollment
The Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS does not discriminate based on race, sex, religion, ethnic origin, or disability.

Promotional codes must be applied at checkout. No refund for a promotional code/discount will be granted after checkout.

Promotional codes are not eligible for use in conjunction with payment plans, extensions, or additional continuing education certificates.

Examinations
Except or as modified in those states provided below, the follow set of terms apply to exams:

- Students must achieve a minimum score as specified in the exam instructions to receive credit for the unit and course.
- Students will not be able to proceed with reading materials in the next units until previous exams are successfully completed and passed.

Re-enrollment requests can be made by contacting the Minneapolis Area REALTORS.
- If the state requires the final course exam to be proctored, students will need to schedule an appointment with a proctor in advance. Upon passing the final course exam, the student and the proctor must sign an affidavit verifying student identity as the student who completed the course and the final course exam.
Attendance and Progress Policy
Students must complete 100% of the learning material of a course and demonstrate mastery of the learning material to receive credit hours for the course. Students not completing 100% of the material will not be issued certificates of completion to receive credit hours for a course. Students must spend a minimum of 50 minutes (60 minutes in some states)/per hour of approved credit in the learning management system. Example: for a six (6) credit hour course, a student must be actively engaged in the course for 300 minutes (6 X 50 minutes). The Minneapolis Area REALTORS does not grant extensions for courses and does not have a probation policy in place for courses.
Refunds
Minneapolis Area REALTORS is committed to student satisfaction. If for any reason you are unsatisfied, the Minneapolis Area REALTORS will refund the purchase of any course(s), as long as the request for the refund is submitted before the course expires, within 30 days of purchase, and the course(s) is not more than 50% completed.
Course Expiration
Continuing Education and Post-Licensing course(s) must be completed within 12 months from the time of purchase. If the course is not completed within that 12-month period please reach out to the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS.
Pre-Licensing courses expire 6 months after the date of purchase. The student will be granted a one-month extension at no charge, said one-month free extension to be applied immediately after the initial 6-month term. For any reactivation or extension of the course after the 7th month, the Minneapolis Area REALTORS will charge the student 20% of the current retail price of the course for each 30-day extension or partial 30-day extension in the event that the course finally terminates before the end of the final 30-day extension. Extensions or reactivations cannot be granted beyond 12 months from the purchase of the course since, in all events, the course terminates 12 months after purchase.
If the course is not completed within 12 months of the date of purchase the student will be required to purchase a new course at 50% of the current retail price of the new course and fully complete the new course, including the final exam.
