This course is offered via home study and online presentation. There is no attendance required in this home study or online course. The student reads the textbook; answers quiz questions in either home study or online format, and must pass the final examination either under the home study guidelines or online guidelines.
The student does not need to pass the quizzes with a particular score. However, any Continuing Education final examination segment requires the student pass with a minimum score of 70% or higher. Students may not take nor pass any final examination segment for more than 15 hours of credit in a 24 hour period. In other words, students can complete and pass a final examination segment for 15 hours of credit or less in a 24 hour period. In the event the student does not pass any final examination segment, the entire course must be retaken.
Under home study guidelines, final examination segments may not be furnished directly to the student. Final examination segments must be submitted under sealed envelopes to a qualified Test Administrator whom Executive Programs has chosen. When participating in a home study program, a student must provide the Test Administrator/Monitor with a current form of identification acceptable by the Department of Real Estate. A 45-hour Continuing Education course may be completed in as little as eight (8) calendar days. However, final examination segments must be separated and completed in 15 hour intervals with 24 hours between each. In other words, a 45 hour Continuing Education course would require 3 separate 15 hour final examination segments separated and completed over 3 whole calendar days. Students must complete all quizzes and final examination segments to receive a Certificate of Completion for any and all parts. The student must complete the full program within the contract enrollment period or the course will expire and no credit will be given. Continuation will require re-enrollment and payment of additional fees. Enrollees are advised and cautioned that this educational institution maintains student records for a five (5) year period only.
Students may request a convenient time and date for the final examination segment and may also suggest the Proctor or entity to administer the final examination segment. However, final designation and approval of the final exam Test Administrator and determination of the time and date is the Sponsor’s responsibility. The Test Administrator cannot be related by blood, marriage, domestic partnership, or any other relationship to the student taking the exam which would influence them from properly administering the examination segment. If a Test Administrator will be used, the Sponsor must send the examination segment materials directly to the Proctor and the Proctor must return the materials directly to the Sponsor. Under no circumstances may the final examination segment be furnished directly to the students. The Sponsor is required to take steps to protect the integrity of the exam and to prevent cheating in an examination.
Under online guidelines, the final examination segment must be completed by the student within three (3) hours with a score of 70% or higher to receive credit for the course. The student may complete a 45 hour Continuing Education course in no less than eight (8) calendar days. In addition, a student cannot complete more than a 15 hour final examination segment in one (1) 24 hour period. The student must complete the course within the contract enrollment period or the entire course will expire. Continuation will require re-enrollment and payment of additional fees. Enrollees are cautioned that this educational institution maintains student records for a five (5) year period only.
The students are assisted by live counselors. The final examination segment will be enabled once the minimum state required time frame has been satisfied. Students are required to log in, using unique username and password. The final examination segment is not printable and will automatically time out after the mandated time limit.
The final examination segment is neither printable nor downloadable. The final examination segment will “time-out” after the allotted time has expired; the student is not allowed to continue working on the final examination segment after the expiration of the allotted time. The time to complete the final examination segment starts when the student first accesses the online final examination segment. The final examination segment offered online is the same as the final examination segment approved by the DRE for the traditional correspondence courses using and Test Administrator. The only material that student can use to complete an open-book final examination segment is the course materials that have been approved by DRE for that particular course. Executive Programs cannot provide assistance to the student during the administration of the final examination segment; each student must complete the final examination segment by himself/herself. Executive Programs will instruct the student that they are required to spend the requisite number of study hours and of the DRE approved course material before taking the final examination segment, i.e., a 45 hour course requires 45 hours of study time; a 15 hour course requires a 15 hours of study time; a 3 hour course requires 3 hours of study time.
When the student completes their course requirements and prior to sending the Certificate of Completion for Continuing Education Courses, an Executive Programs counselor will review their full file to be certain all DRE rules and regulations were followed.
