To ensure all necessary topics are covered within the allotted time, anything that does not pertain to the class curriculum cannot be covered during class time. Your instructor may try to put your question into context of the curriculum, but due to time constraints may not answer questions outside of the curriculum. We welcome you to submit your extra curricular questions to be answered on our weekly live streams.

Legal and Accounting Advice

While many of the courses offered at the Tampa School of Real Estate cover various laws and rules, nothing taught during our courses is offered as legal or accounting advice. We strongly recommend consulting an attorney, accountant or the appropriate professional for professional advice.

Transfer Policy

Any transfers between classes must be approved by administration. A fee may be assessed for transfers that occur after a class has began.

Online to Classroom
Any student who originally enrolled in an online course, may transfer their registration to a classroom course with no transfer fee imposed as long as the initial registration occurred within the last 30 days and the course has not yet been completed. Any difference in tuition must be paid prior to starting the new class. When transfers do occur, the initial registration date remains in effect to determine eligibility for retakes and any other policies.

Classroom to Online
Prior to attending any part of a classroom course, a transfer to an online course may be granted with no additional transfer fee imposed. If a student has attended more than three hours of a classroom course, a fee may be imposed for transfer to the online course. When transfers do occur, the initial registration date remains in effect to determine eligibility for retakes and any other policies. If this is not the first transfer between classes, or registration was beyond 30 days, please contact an advisor to determine applicable transfer fees.
