DC Classroom Course Credits...

Why is there a $20 processing fee for elective credits?
This fee allows students to receive credit from additional jurisdictions for a minimal fee. We provide this additional service to our students by processing student information for the DC RE Commission and issuing a DC Certificate. The DC RE Commission previously handled the credit processing, but now requires us to do it.

Can I take all 15 hours of the DC requirements in one day with REI?
No. You will need to take the 9 hour day of mandatory courses, and then on another day take 6 Maryland hours which you can apply to DC as elective credit.   See classroom schedule.

If I take the 9 hour day of DC mandatory credits for $150, what does that include?
You will receive 3 DC certificates and electronic processing of your credits to DC through Promissor.

If I need 6 elective credits and take Maryland courses with Real Estate Institute, how do the credits get processed to DC?
When you take a Maryland class with REI, a Maryland certificate only is included with your tuition. This does not include DC credit of any kind. To process your Maryland credit to DC and create a DC certificate, you will need to fill out a DC Processing form on the day of class including your DC license number and $20 per class processing fee.

Can I take my DC credits online?
No, our online courses are not approved for DC credit.
