Requirements to Complete Your Course: In order to receive credit for your course, you MUST
complete the following steps in the order below.
CA DRE Rules: A student may enroll in any number of courses with the following guidelines:
1. Schools may not offer a single correspondence course that is to be completed* in less
than 2½ weeks. This rule applies regardless of the number of schools
the student is taking courses from.
2. No more than two courses may be completed* in a five-week period.
3. The school is allowed to issue a completion certificate(s) or transcript(s) upon
successful completion of a course(s) within the time frames listed below.
Number of Courses Min. Completion Time*
1: 2½ weeks
2: 5 weeks
4: 10 weeks
6: 15 weeks
8: 20 weeks
Our courses have an 18 day delay between allowing access each exam in order to meet the CA DRE
requirement. The time from the date the student receives course material to the date the final exam is
successfully passed. The date the final exam is taken, is not necessarily the date the exam is graded.
Review the Textbook/Ebook: In order to be prepared to pass the final examination, you should carefully
read and review the textbooks/E-book that you purchased.
Receive a passing grade on your final exam: All prelicense courses require a final exam. All exams are
multiple choice exams. If your exam is online, you may access it by clicking the exam link on your
dashboard page. If your exam is proctored, you must contact your school administrator to schedule an
exam. To find out more information about your state’s course final exam, see the information below.
