- Policies of Nevada Real Estate Pre Licensing
4.1. Real Estate Pre Licensing is defined as any course taken prior to the activation of any Nevada Real Estate License: Salesperson, Broker, or Broker Salesperson.
4.2. The maximum occupancy of the real estate pre licensing course is at the sole discretion of the admissions office. Therefore admissions is done on a first come, first serve basis. Students repeating any subject must surrender their space in the class, only if the class is full (definition of full is determined by the admissions office based on the seats available in the classroom setting). The admissions office will use the effective start date noted on the enrollment form to determine which repeating students must relinquish their space in the classroom setting.
4.3. The Nevada Real Estate pre licensing course can be completed via classroom or home study.
4.4. All real estate students are considered home study students as classroom attendance is not recorded.
4.4.1. If a student decides that classroom instruction would benefit their ability to transfer education to other states and would be more viable, the student may re-enroll as a classroom student for an additional fee. Classroom enrollment must be done on a separate enrollment form. Hours taken do not count toward a classroom completion certificate unless the student is completing the required sign in sheets and the student has made specific arrangements with the admissions office to be noted as a classroom student.
4.4.1.1. Home study students are required to complete and pass examinations and all required evaluations to obtain certificates. Said certificate / course completion exam must be taken within one year of enrollment date. See testing section 14.5
4.4.1.2. The passing grade on any quiz or exam is 75% or greater.
4.4.1.3. Only students requesting or students who are required to have attendance recorded are considered classroom students. All standardized classroom students are considered credit hour students wherein education is afforded through a completion exam. A certificate of education is not issued based on attendance. This affords the student with the flexibility of attending within the calendar as their schedule permits. This also allows the student to learn the curriculum through multiple delivery methods. Students who wish to receive classroom clock hour certification must request clock hour accreditation on a written form in the admissions office.
4.4.1.3.1. Students who are listed as Clock Hour classroom students must attend the total clock hours enrolled in before students can obtain the certificate of education.
4.4.1.3.2.

The hours of education for classroom instruction will not be counted until an attendance log is started with the admissions office.
4.4.1.3.3. Classroom attendance is mandatory for a classroom student wherein the course is a clock hour course. Classroom attendance is optional for a student enrolled in a classroom course wherein the course is considered a credit hour course. Classes that are clock hour will be deemed a clock hour requirement by the state or federal governing agency. Classes that are clock hour will have an attendance log and will not solely be based on a course final exam. A credit hour course will not be based on attendance but will be based solely on the passing of a final exam. Students should contact the school admissions office if the student is unclear as to whether their course is clock or credit hour. Any absence from a clock hour course will require the student to re-enroll in the next available course offering and the student may be required to pay for the course again. Though classroom attendance may constitute hours of completion, this course still requires a final examination for completion.
4.4.2. Subject to availability, Nevada Classroom Real Estate Students have the ability to repeat any subject at any time at no additional cost to the student. Though students have the ability to repeat course topics and live classroom sessions, Key Realty School will only update physical course materials for a period of 1 year at no additional cost. The school does not replace lost course materials at no cost. Students who continue or restart their course of study on dates exceeding 1 year from the original enrollment date may be required to purchase additional or updated course materials. The admissions office of the school retains a price list of all course materials.
4.4.2.1. The ability to repeat any course is only available while Key Realty School is able to offer or is scheduled to offer the course.
4.4.2.2. The real estate pre licensing course is traditionally designed to be four calendar weeks (excluding holiday periods noted in the school calendar). Therefore, any education taken after the four week period is considered repeating course subjects regardless of attendance during the scheduled four week set.
4.4.2.3. Repeating students are considered to be auditing the subject for no additional credit.
4.4.2.3.1. Though the class is rarely considered completely full, auditing students are not guaranteed a space within the course. The course space is always allocated to the students currently attending the original four week cycle.

Students are required to apply for admission allowing enough time to complete the required hours of the course under the provision that one may only study a maximum of eight (8) hours per calendar day. Calendar hours are considered when scheduling a home-study course or classroom course and course completion is not granted before the calendar hours of the course have expired. Example: Student O enrolls in the real estate pre licensing course. Student O must wait a minimum of 12 calendar days before student O can test out of the subject. (15 X 8 = > 120 hours of education) This eight hour maximum is applicable to all increments of hours toward real estate pre licensing and continuing education. Students will not be supplied completion /certificate access information or appointments prior to the minimum allocation of hours having been met. The student must take the course final exam within 1 calendar year of the enrollment date.
4.4.7. The Nevada Real Estate Division governs the application and educational recognition process. Therefore, Key Realty School recommends that the student has any and all prior education assessed by the Nevada Real Estate Division in writing to guarantee the acceptance of any prior education toward licensing application.
4.4.7.1. Though Key Realty School prides itself in the most current information supplied by both written and verbal information provided to students, requirements and or laws may change that require more or less educational course work than originally enrolled in.
4.5. The process of completing the requirements to apply for a Nevada real estate license may require the student to take a state sanctioned exam with a testing facility that has no business or financial relationship with Key Realty School. Though Key Realty School prides itself in its awareness of the testing company’s policies and procedures, the school is not responsible for the lack of disclosure or lack of performance in anyway by the testing service. Key Realty School strongly recommends that all students thoroughly examine all testing policies of any external company prior to enrolling for an examination.

The submission and completion of the necessary documents is the sole responsibility of the student or applicant.

10.2.1. Key Realty School encourages each student taking an appraisal course for any other purpose than internship to contact the state of Nevada Appraisal Division to confirm the course purpose and approval for the intended purpose. Because the requirements are unique for different statuses within the appraisal field, Key Realty School is not responsible for determining what exact subjects are needed to renew, activate or apply for any state status. Therefore, the school recommends the student seek out this information from the state or local governing body.

10.4. If this course is taken through live classroom instruction, the class is not considered home-study and thus attendance is mandatory.

- Refund Policy – See Section 20.10.1 for information about online / email or fax withdrawal
20.1 All course withdrawals are treated in the exact same format regardless of student circumstance. This prevents discrimination based on the course withdrawal qualifying factors noted within Nevada Revised Chapter 394. All refund requests must be in writing and directed to Key Realty School.
All students are treated the same regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability and familial status wherein the course withdrawal process and result thereof remains the same for every student regardless of circumstance.
Refund requests shall be calculated as follows:
20.1.1. Requests made during the first 60% of a course shall be prorated based on that portion of the course completed as of the date written on the request (but not dated after receipt of such request).
20.1.2. The course shall be prorated based upon the start date noted on the enrollment form.
20.1.2.1. Due to the availability of correspondence courses, classroom attendance is not an indicator of attendance. Therefore the request for a refund will always be processed in accordance with the start date noted on the enrollment form. The maximum number of hours of classroom instruction for the class in question will be used. An example of this refund policy would be:
20.1.2.2. Example: Student 1 purchases the real estate correspondence course for $260 (start date is the same as registration date for home study courses, start date is also noted on the enrollment form)
Student 1 applies for a refund 3 days later after the course start date
Course cost $260 X 90% (registration fee) = $234
90 hours of pre licensing has a maximum of 8 hours of education per day (11days of tuition total to complete 90 hours) The tuition cost of $234 / 11days = $22 per day
3 days X $22 per day = $66 of tuition used
$234 – $66 = $168 of tuition still refunded to Student 1
20.2. There will be no refund given after 60% of a class has been completed. NOTE: Actual attendance is not an indicator of completion wherein completion is based on the ability for which the class can be completed and time passed from the date of enrollment.
20.3 All forms required to submit for a refund are readily available at the admissions office of the school.
20.4. Refunds will be made within 15 days after receipt of written request or information will be supplied to the student indicating that no tuition is remaining. Once a student completes a course withdrawal form, the withdrawal becomes active and the student is no longer permitted to utilize the course resources. If the student is eligible for a tuition refund, the refund will be credited / refunded to the student in the same method for which the student originally paid the tuition. Refunds of any tuition remaining or written information informing the student that no tuition is remaining is traditionally processed on the 1st and 15th of every month or the business day thereafter. Should an issue arise associated with the tuition paid at the time of enrollment, the school will require the general tuition affidavit wherein such information can be evaluated when reviewing the student file.
20.5. Key Realty School will withhold a nonrefundable registration and processing fee of 10%. (Maximum of $100). This registration fee will not be applied when the enrollment / tuition paid date is within the prior 2 business days.
20.6 Credit will not be issued for partial or completed courses that are no longer offered or have been changed.
20.7. Key Realty School adheres to the minimum refund policies set forth in the Nevada Revised Statute 394.449

Refunds submitted after 90 days have passed from the original enrollment date will not be considered. Refund requests submitted within the 90 day limitation may be denied based on the type of course and its relation to the totality of school policies. This section is not intended to imply that refund request made within the 90 day limit will be refund but rather no refund request can be made after 90 days have passed. Requests made within the 90 day limit must still comply with all school policies. Section 20.8 is not applicable to online and correspondence courses.

Student A has the ability to receive a full refund or begin the classes again when the courses are offered again.
22.7.2. Example of course cancellation without a refund – Student A starts the real estate pre licensing course. Five weeks into the course, the course is cancelled because of instructor illness. Student A does not have the ability to receive any refund, as the total number of weeks scheduled for the course have passed and the student is now considered to be auditing.
22.7.2.1. Some courses require attendance and are listed by hours completed to be eligible for a refund as noted in 22.7.1 or 22.7.2. Other courses are periods of time passed because classroom attendance is not mandatory and education is measured by test results. See the course calendars for hours:
- Attendance
23.7. All classes not considered home study require a total number of hours to receive a certificate of education. No certificate of education will be issued without the required number of hours completed. Make up days are scheduled at the sole discretion of the instructor. If no make-up day is available or the student has missed more hours than the make-up day provides, the student may audit the total number of days / hours missed in the next available course date only. These students repeating future course dates for additional credit toward course hours are considered auditing students.
23.8. Colds, flu and other contagious illnesses are a serious issue in a school environment because they can spread so rapidly. Students are asked to refrain from attending a classroom environment when they show symptoms of illness. If the student exhibits any active symptoms of illness, he/she may be asked to leave the classroom environment / the school, both for the student’s own comfort and to minimize the spread of illness to other students in the classroom. As a representative of the school, the instructor will ask a student to vacate the classroom if the student shows continued signs of a contagious illness. Though the instructors may not be medical doctors, the instructors will aid on the side of caution to protect the student populous. If a student has been removed from the classroom environment, the student is encouraged to seek medical attention and refrain from attendance until it has been determined that they are no longer contagious and show no contagious symptoms. In the event of an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as measles, Key Schools will follow the guidelines set forth for schools by the CDC.
