Registration:

All students must be pre-registered and the course must be paid in full prior to the start of classes. In the event that a student is unable to pay the course in full prior to the start of classes, they may choose to defer their space for the next course, or they may opt for a payment plan*.

*A payment plan consists of the student paying for the course in installments. The minimum initial fee allowed to enroll in a course is $150.00 (does not include materials). The student must pay for the course in full prior to classes. Otherwise, if the student decides to join the course without having paid the course in full, he/she must pay an extraordinary enrollment fee equal to the total value of the course + 10% (ten percent) of the total value of the course (before discounts). The last date for payment of the extraordinary tuition is the last day of classes of the course in which the student is enrolled. If the student does not pay the extraordinary tuition (or is not in good standing with the institution) after the aforementioned date, he/she will not be able to take the final exam of the institute nor will he/she be able to receive the certificate provided by ACRE Institute.

All classes may be monitored or videotaped for quality purposes by the institute, but the student may not record or videotape any material as it is copyrighted.

In the event of inclement weather, it is the job of ACRE INSTITUTE to monitor storms and make decisions about class cancellations. In the case when a class must be cancelled, efforts will be made to reschedule classes as quickly as time and classroom space permits. However, it is not always possible to schedule classes on the same days and times that they were planned on, so we will keep in constant contact with you to inform you of any changes that may occur due to a class cancellation because of force majeure.

According to Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) regulations, students who fail a class test must wait at least 30 days before retaking the test. If a student wants to take the test before 30 days, he or she must repeat the entire course before being eligible to retake the test. If a student fails the exam taken a second time, he or she must repeat the entire course to retake the test. Students retaking will be given priority over students retaking if classes are full.

Teachers have the authority to dismiss any student whom the teacher deems to be disruptive and, or whose conduct may be detrimental to other students, at any time without refund.

Acre Institute cannot guarantee passing courses, that is up to the student and their abilities; commitment to study, internalization and understanding of the material is something that all students must do.

Acre Institute is duly certified and operates in accordance with DBPR (Department of Business and Professional Regulation), and FREC (Florida Real Estate Commission) regulations.
