Education Policies

Attendance

All courses will start on time. Participants are expected to arrive on time and attend courses in their entirety.

For NC Real Estate Commission-approved courses, late arrivals will not be admitted.  If a participant is denied admission to a course as a result of late arrival, his/her registration fee will be forfeited to ABR in full.  No credit will be given for a future class. 

For NC Real Estate Commission-approved courses, participants are required to attend a minimum of 90% of a course in order to receive credit.  If a participant does not attend a course in full, his/her registration fee will be forfeited to ABR in full.  No credit will be given for a future class.

Inclement Weather

For classes scheduled at the Asheville Board office, please follow the Asheville City Schools inclement weather schedule.  If Asheville City Schools are closed or school hours are delayed due to inclement weather, ABR’s classes will be cancelled or delayed accordingly.

For classes scheduled at other facilities, such as AB Tech or Brevard College, please follow that facility’s inclement weather schedule.  If the facility is closed or business hours are delayed due to inclement weather, ABR’s classes will be cancelled or delayed accordingly.  

Cancellations

Board policy does not allow refunds.  However, credit can be given for a future class if cancellation is received, in writing, at least three business days prior to the start of a course.  A $25.00 cancellation fee will be charged.

If cancellation occurs within three days of the start of a course, or in the case of a no-show, no credit will be given.  In this case, participant forfeits his/her entire registration fee to ABR.
