While we are dealing with these unprecedented times, we want to make sure that you know we are here to assist and guide you. Below is an overview of how you can complete your 19–20 CE requirements.

BICUP & GenUp Update Courses

The NCREC has approved synchronous distance learning for the Commercial BICUP & GENUP courses through June 10^th. The April schedule is available now – see below for details.

Deadline Extension

The NCREC will grant an automatic extension of time to brokers who have not completed their 8 hours of CE by June 10. You will have until September 30 to satisfy your CE for the 19–20 license year. The June 11–30 blackout period is still in effect and this year’s BICUP and GenUp Update courses will no longer be offered after June 10.

Therefore,

• If you have completed this year’s Update by June 10, but not an elective, you will need to take an elective by September 30.
• If you take an elective by June 10, but not an Update course, you will simply complete another elective course by September 30.
• If you take no CE courses by June 10, you must complete 2 different elective courses by September 30.

You will then return to the customary Update + 1 elective CE requirement for the 2020-2021 license year.

At this time, we are closely monitoring the NCREC guidelines and recommendations in order to determine when in-person classes can resume.
