Expiration Date of Course: Davis College’s pre-licensing courses expire six months after the date of purchase. Each student will be granted a one-month extension at no charge, to be applied immediately after the initial six-month term. For any reactivation or extension of the course after the seventh month, David College will charge the student 20% of the current retail price of the course for each 30-day extension or partial 30-day extension in the event that the course finally terminates before the end of the final 30-day extension. Students may also elect to re-enroll for 50% of the current retail price of the course, if the course has hit the year expiration or the student is at the 7-month mark and wants to repurchase and restart the course and enrollment. Extensions or reactivations cannot be granted beyond 12 months from the purchase of the course since, in all events, the course terminates 12 months after purchase.
Certificates: Once Davis College has received the signed affidavit, your certificate of course completion will become available to download (and via email). Davis College will provide students with an electronic certificate of completion, upon completion of the course. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five years, should you need additional copies. Please refer to your license application to determine if you need to submit your certificate of completion with your license request. Course completion dates are recorded using Central Standard Time. Please note that the date of your certificate of completion will reflect this.
College Credit: Students wishing to receive college credit post-completion will follow Davis College's established process and guidelines. Davis will award 2 credits for each of the 40-hour courses (Principles and Practices and Real Estate Law) and 1 credit for each of the 20-hour courses (Real Estate Appraisal and Real Estate Finance) for a total of 6 credits. The cost per credit is $100.00.
