Enrollment Agreement

Welcome, this website is published and maintained by Stringham Schools, Utah’s premier pre-licensing real estate school. This Enrollment Agreement (agreement) is a binding agreement between the student (you, your) and Stringham School (we, us). This agreement is to be read thoroughly. This agreement will govern your relationship with Stringham Schools and is subject to change at any time without notice to you. This agreement is binding and effective upon your signature, if enrolling in person, or your electronic acknowledgement that you agree to the terms of this agreement. 

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND STRINGHAM SCHOOLS. 

BY SUBMITTING TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH TERM AND CONDITION. THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE READ IN THE FIRST PERSON. 

1. Tuition
2. • I understand that the tuition covers all costs of the course until completion and certification of the curriculum’s total hours. This also allows review of classes in the course registered and paid for without additional costs for up to one year after enrollment in the course. Classes are valid for one year.
   • I understand I have one year to complete a pre-licensing course. If additional time is needed to complete a pre-licensing course, I understand I have the option to pay $50 for each two-month extension needed, up to six months after the original expiration date. After six months of the original expiration date, I understand I will be unable to extend my course, but I will have the option to re-enroll in the pre-licensing course I previously purchased for a discount of 50% of the tuition at the time of re-enrollment. 
   • I recognize that the cost of any additional written certifications required by the Utah Division of Real Estate or any other regulatory entity, for this or any other course, is NOT included in the tuition. 
   • I agree that all tuition must be received prior to receiving certification of hours. There will be a $50 charge on returned checks. 
   • I agree that tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable. 

• Student Conduct and Disciplinary Action

1. 1. I understand and agree that Stringham Schools reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
   2. I understand and agree that Stringham Schools reserves the right, at its discretion, to take any form of disciplinary action against enrolled students based on student conduct. I understand and agree that Stringham Schools is under no obligation to warn students before disciplinary action is taken. I further understand and agree that Stringham Schools is under no obligation to provide disciplined students the opportunity for remedial action.

• Waiver

1. 1. I understand that I can apply for a waiver of hours with the Division of Real Estate prior to enrollment in the course. The Division of Real Estate may issue a waiver of all or part of the required education hours by virtue of having completed:
      1. other equivalent education as part of a college undergraduate or postgraduate degree program, regardless of the date of the degree;
      2. having been licensed in a state that has substantially equivalent prelicensing education requirements; or
      3. evidence current membership in the Utah State Bar.
   2. A STUDENT ACCEPTED OR ENROLLED FOR EDUCATION HOURS CANNOT LATER REDUCE THOSE HOURS BY APPLYING FOR AN EDUCATION WAIVER. AN EDUCATION WAIVER MUST BE OBTAINED BEFORE A STUDENT ENROLLS AND IS ACCEPTED BY A SCHOOL FOR EDUCATION HOURS. Thus, once I enroll for hours, I understand that I may no longer be issued a waiver. 

• Attendance and Affiliation

1. 1. I understand that Stringham Schools may not provide or allow for more than eight credit hours earned per student per day.
   2. I understand that each student must attend at least 90% of the scheduled class periods, excluding breaks.
   3. ANY STUDENT ATTENDING STRINGHAM SCHOOLS IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AFFILIATE WITH ANY OF THE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGES THAT MAY BE SOLICITING FOR LICENSEES AT THIS SCHOOL.

• Licensure

1. 1. I understand that the Utah Division of Real Estate will conduct a thorough background investigation at the time I submit my application for licensing. I understand that applicants for licensure must disclose any criminal history by answering a questionnaire as part of the pre-license exam, as well as submit fingerprint cards to the Division and consent to a criminal background check. Licenses issued by the Division may be conditional, pending the completion of the background check. I understand that failure to accurately disclose a criminal history could result in an immediate and automatic license revocation. I acknowledge that applicants with a criminal history listed in Utah Administrative Code R162-2f-201(a) do not qualify for a license. I further acknowledge that applicants with a criminal history other than as described in R162-2f-201(a) will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may be required to appear at an administrative hearing to determine qualifications for licensure. 
   2. I acknowledge that I have received the current state Examination Candidate Handbook for the State of Utah, and I have been made aware of the screening questions contained within it. 
   3. Questions or concerns regarding the background investigation, or screening questions should be directed to the Utah Division of Real Estate at:
      (801) 530-6747. 

• No Guarantee

1. 1. I understand and agree that completion of Stringham Schools’ classes is not a guarantee of course completion certification, passing the state exam, licensure, or career employment. I further understand and agree that if I receive my course completion certificate, Stringham Schools does not guarantee my passing of the state exam, licensure, or employment. Additionally, I understand that Stringham Schools does not guarantee my own comprehension of the material, memorization, understanding, or even my preparedness to take the state exam.  

• Release of Liability

1. 1. I understand that through this contractual obligation, which I hereby acknowledge, do release and forever discharge Stringham Schools, their agents, employees, affiliates, licensees, successors, assigns, facilities, and premises from any claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, or suits of any kind, relating to the established relationship between Stringham Schools and me.
   2. I understand that this release is binding and subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Utah.

   3. I hereby irrevocably authorize Stringham Schools and its affiliates to copyright, publish, reproduce, exhibit, transmit, broadcast, televise, digitize, display, otherwise use, and permit others to use:
      1. my name, image, likeness, and voice, and all photographs, recordings, videotapes, audiovisual materials, writings, statements, and quotations of or by myself (collectively, “Materials”), in any manner, form, or format whatsoever now or hereinafter created, including on the internet, and for any purpose.
