All course enrollments require pre-payment and are non-refundable.

In addition, the Real Estate Institute is not responsible for any late fees, charges or other amounts incurred by students to licensing authorities or any other third parties.

Course tuition and any applicable fees are subject to change without notice.

Our pricing includes no 'hidden' fees. However, some state regulatory agencies require mandatory credit reporting fees to be paid upon course completion. We collect the requried fees when you enroll in our courses. The fee amount is clearly stated at our website along with other course details. If the mandatory state fees increase before you complete your course, you will be required to pay the additional amount upon course completion so that we may promptly report your credit hours to the state.

Students may be required to pass a state examination (at a state-approved testing center) after successfully completing certain pre-license programs. Any related fees are paid directly to the appropriate exam provder and are not included in our course tuition.

Students may be required to pay fees when applying for or renewing a state license. Any such fees are paid directly to the appropriate state regulatory agency and are not included in our course tuition.

Students may transfer non-expired course enrollments to another student:

If the original course materials are not returned, the student may incur a fee.

Exams may be administered using a computer or traditional pencil and paper. Exam types may vary based on the date and location where you choose to take your exam.

Although we'll always make our best effort to honor requests for computer or paper-based examinations, we cannot guarantee the exam administration type. The type of exam you take will be affected by capacity, environmental conditions, availability of computer testing systems, etc.
