For license year, July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025:

- I offer both classes:
- the Update classes are available by Zoom.

DO I NEED AN ETHICS COURSE?
It depends. Read more here.
I HAVE A CE DEFICIENCY. NOW WHAT?
You forgot to take an Update and/or elective. Now what?
Every NC broker MUST take the right Update course (either the BICUP or the GENUP) and an elective every single license year.
FIRST: has your license been on inactive status for less than two license years with a CE deficiency?
Then you must:
–– complete the current year’s CE requirement in full (i.e., take the general update and one NCREC-approved elective), and
–– take either one or two approved electives to make up for the number of hours you did not complete during the preceding license year; and then
–– submit the License Activation form.
Check with the NCREC to make sure you are taking the right make up classes.
OR
Has your broker license been on inactive status for more than two license years with a CE deficiency?
Then you must:
–– successfully complete two 30-hour post-licensing courses (courses must be completed
within six months prior to submitting License Activation form), and
–– complete the current year’s CE requirement in full (i.e., take the General Update and
one commission-approved elective); and then
–– submit the License Activation form.
You can read the NCREC's version of this information here.
I Forgot to renew my license by June 30. NOW WHAT?
What will happen if I don’t renew by June 30?
If you don’t renew your license online by June 30, your license will expire, and you will have to cease providing brokerage services. Refer to the “Reinstate your License” page on the Commission’s website for information regarding license reinstatement.
NOTE
If you hold BIC Eligible status and your license expires or changes to inactive status on July 1, you will automatically lose BIC Eligible status and, in turn, BIC designation (if applicable). If that happens, and you wish to regain BIC Eligible status, you must
(1) return the license to active status;
(2) meet the experience requirements for BIC designation;
(3) take the 12-hour Broker-in-Charge Course before re-designation; and (4) complete and submit the Request for BIC Eligible Status and/or Designation form (REC 2.25). Do NOT take the 12- hour BIC Course before your license is on active status! Refer to Rule 58A. 0110 for detailed instructions regarding regaining BIC Eligible status and BIC designation.
