Preparation & Admission

Attendance (primarily applicable for In-Person Classes & CE credits)

The National Association of Real Estate Advisors (NAREA) has established the following attendance policy for each approved course:

• Each student is required to register for the course either online, through NAREA’s website, or at the location the live course is being taught.
• A person from NAREA, or the Certified Instructor, will be required to monitor the course. This is to assure that the licensed attendee is attending the course for which they registered.

   Check-In

• The licensee will be required, at the time of check in, to confirm with the NAREA representative that they are indeed the person who has registered for the course. At that time, they will be required to provide federal or state issued photo identification that has the name and photograph of the licensee. For CE credits, each licensee will also be required to provide their real estate license number, as issued by the Division of Real Estate.
• At the beginning of each course, the licensee will be required to sign in next to their name, as shown on the roster, stating their name and license number.
• Each time there is a break during the class, the licensee will be required to sign in or out with the representative monitoring the course.

   Course Completion

• At the completion of the course, the licensee will be required to turn in any examination given for grading. If the grading took place during the course, the licensee will be required to confirm with the representative that the examination was turned in or a passing grade was achieved.
• Prior to awarding continuing education credit to any student, the monitoring representative will confirm that the student was in attendance a minimum of 90% of the required class time.
• Within seven days after the completion of a course, NAREA will log the continuing education credit for each student. These credits will be logged with the appropriate affiliate that records each student’s continuing education credits.

Additional attendance requirements may be added from time-to-time. This is done by direction of the Division of Real Estate, by whom the continuing education credits are authorized.
