Admission

Students enrolling in South Carolina Real Estate classes must be 18 years of age and must be a high school graduate or the recipient of a certificate of equivalency (GED). Your registration is contingent upon verification, valid payment, and confirmation of no other past or outstanding debts or restrictions.

Grading

The test grading for the First Year Sales and Broker B exam is based on a multiple-choice assessment on general Real Estate information, along with a multiple-choice exam based on South Carolina state laws. The Property Management Course test consists of one exam with multiple-choice questions. On each portion of the exam, 75% mastery is required to pass the exam. Should you fail any class exam, only one exam retake shall be allowed at no charge. If you fail the retake exam, you will be required to take the class again. All class grades include evaluation on the student's 100% class participation. FA may offer courses to which these grading rules may not apply.

Tuition

Tuition can be paid by check, money order, credit card, or cash and is due at the time of registration.

Individuals withdrawing within this period will receive a 100% refund of the course fees with a deduction of $25 for service charges.

Class rescheduling can be requested by the student or may be required by the management, up until a day before the class start date. Students shall be provided with new class schedule options to select from.
