Real Estate University – Online Courses

To ensure a professional and compliant learning environment, all students are required to follow the policies below for all virtual (Zoom) classes. These guidelines reflect the standards set by the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) and our commitment to quality education.


1. Individual Attendance & Camera Use

Each student must log in using their own device and must have their camera turned on for the entire duration of the class. The instructor must be able to see each student’s face at all times.

This is a DCP regulation and will be enforced without exception.


2. Log-In Time

Students must log in to Zoom 5–10 minutes before class begins to allow time for setup and attendance verification.


3. Retake Students (Non-Credit Participants)

Only students retaking a course for review purposes (no credit) may remain off-camera. These students must change their Zoom display name to:

RETAKE – First Name Last Name

Students who are off-camera and not properly identified will be removed from the class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are online real estate classes allowed in Connecticut?
As of March 2020, the Department of Consumer Protection and Real Estate Commission will now allow instructor-led LIVE STREAMING classes for those wishing to take the real estate pre-licensing course. It must be taken as part of a live classroom and, therefore, is not an on-demand course.
How do I register for your virtual real estate courses?
You can register for the class through our website, in person during the office hours or over the phone at 203-434-5533.
How soon can I start my live-streaming real estate course after registering?
You can start any Monday, Tuesday or Thursday as long as you have registered a minimum of two hours ahead of the course start time.
How do I access the virtual real estate classes?
Once you have registered, a Real Estate University staff member will text and email log-in instructions to you.
Do you have a live-streaming option for all of your real estate courses?
Yes! Effective March 20, 2020, the DCP will allow all of Real Estate University’s classes, including broker pre-licensing and CE, to be able to be taken through live-streaming! For those who feel comfortable, they can also attend the class live at our Norwalk location but the seating is limited to 5 students.
Is there an instructor teaching the virtual classes?
Yes! You will be virtually attending a class with the same amazing Real Estate University instructors that you are used to (Chuck, Kim-Marie, Karena, Amanda and others).
If I have any questions during the class, will I be able to ask them?
Absolutely! You will be able to fully participate in the class by asking questions and interacting with the other students and the instructor.
Can I take some of the modules in the classroom and others through live-streaming?
Absolutely! Many students prefer the classroom environment so we will now offer both options. You can choose to attend live classes in either Stamford or Norwalk locations, or live-stream the classes being held in Norwalk.
What if I can’t start the virtual class on time or I have to log off early?
Unfortunately no. Students will not be given credit for attending a class if they log in to our live-stream modules past the start time or if they log out of the class early. No credit will be given for partial attendance so students should make sure they are available and logged in during the entire class time.
Will there be an exam at the end of the course? Where is the exam given?
Yes. You will have to take the class exam in person at either the Norwalk or Stamford location.
Will Real Estate University offer virtual real estate classes in other states other than Connecticut?
Great question! Yes! We plan to offer live-streaming classes in New York and Rhode Island by late Spring 2020. Keep checking our website for updates.
