Cancellation & Attendance Policy

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Registrants are expected to arrive to class on time. Registrants who arrive more than 10 minutes after the scheduled start time of any class or event may risk forfeiting their seat in that class.

For classes which offer continuing education credit, attendance will be monitored to ensure adherence to Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) requirements. To receive continuing education credit, FREC rules mandate that licensees cannot miss more than 10% of the class.

CANCELLATION POLICY

The Tallahassee Board of REALTORS® (TBR) reserves the right to cancel any program in the event of insufficient registrations. If, for any reason, the TBR cancels an event, the TBR assumes no responsibility for nonrefundable airline tickets or other travel costs. The TBR will make every effort to immediately notify registrants of a cancellation.

Because we must commit to the exclusion of other activities and because we must make commitments to providers for food, beverages, and space when we schedule programs, if you cancel your registration for a paid event, we will charge a cancellation fee according to the following schedule:

CANCELLATIONS

All cancellations must be submitted in writing and be confirmed.

Cancellations received more than one week before the first day of an event will be granted a full refund.

Cancellations received less than one week before the first day and at least 24 hours in advance of an event will be granted a refund less a $5 administrative fee (this is for classes and events with a minimal fee). No refunds will be granted for cancellations within 24 hours of the start of an event.

For all designation courses (e.g., CRS, GRI) and events with a larger registration fee (greater than or equal to $100), cancellations received less than one week before the first day and no less than two business days in advance of an event will be granted a refund less a $60 administrative fee. No refunds will be granted for cancellations within two business days of the start of an event.

MLS CLASSES

MLS Classes are offered at no charge to MLS Participants and Subscribers. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance form MLS classes to ensure adequate space is available and for advance notification in the event of schedule changes or cancellation, etc. There is no fee to attend MLS classes. However, if a registrant cannot attend a class, they must cancel their registration at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled start time of the class or they will be considered a "no-show" and will be assessed a $20 fee per class; collection will be as outlined in the Financial section of the manual.

REALTOR® ENRICHMENT PROGRAM (REP) POLICY

For a single enrollment fee per the calendar year, Tallahassee Board of REALTORS® members can register in as many REALTOR® Enrichment Program (REP) courses as they would like, at no additional cost for each individual class. REP enrollment is not transferable. Unlicensed assistants to TBR members may also enroll in the REP.

Participants in the REP are encouraged to register in advance for the REP classes they wish to attend, as participation in REP does not guarantee registration in any individual class. When registering for classes online, REP participants should note that for any REP class, their online payment option will be labeled “Charge Education Card.”

If a REP participant cannot attend a REP class for which they are registered, cancellation must be made at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled start of the class; otherwise, that registrant will be considered a “no-show” and will be assessed a $10 fee per class; collection will be as outlined in the Financial section of the manual.

EXCEPTIONS

In the event of extenuating circumstances concerning a transfer or a cancellation, a student may seek a waiver of fees or of tuition forfeiture by sending a written request and explanation to the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., who will forward to the Professional Development Committee (PDC). The letter must be received by TBR not more than 15 days after the date the class or event was scheduled to begin, must explain the circumstances leading to the request, must be signed by the student and should be accompanied by any relevant documentation the student wishes to submit. The Education Coordinator will consult with the PDC and shall make a determination concerning the request. The student shall be notified in writing of the determination.
