Unable to Complete the CE Requirements Before Renewal?
Save yourself costly fines and reprimands on you and your broker’s official records. If you are unable to complete your required continuing education requirements by the April 30 deadline, the state’s real estate Rules and Regulations permit a waiver or postponement if you request it from the Real Estate Commission. See below. You MUST do this 60 days prior to the April 30 deadline (which is March 1).
14.8 - The Commission may waive or postpone all or part of the continuing education requirements of these Rules and Regulations if a Licensee submits a written request for a waiver and provides evidence to the satisfaction of the Commission of an illness, injury, financial hardship, family hardship, or other similar extenuating circumstance which precluded the Licensee's completion of the requirements. Application for waiver or postponement shall be made in writing to the Commission and shall be received by the Commission no later than 60 days prior to the biennial license renewal date.
