Terms and Conditions

---

No refunds. However, the student will have a class credit with Southern Bell School of Real Estate for one year from the date payment was made.

An NSF fee of $30 shall be charged for all returned checks or bank returns. The student is responsible for all payments, regardless of who pays for the class (i.e: company or relative).

In the event of inclement weather, Southern Bell School of Real Estate management will monitor storms and make decisions regarding the cancellation of classes on a case-by-case basis. In the event of a class cancellation, all efforts will be made to quickly reschedule classes as time and classroom space permits. It is not always possible to schedule makeup classes on the same days and times as the classes that are canceled.

Cell phone usage is discouraged inside Southern Bell School of Real Estate buildings, due to the noise level created. Please be courteous to other students and hold conversations outside of the building. Cell phones must be turned off or in silent mode while in class. Repeat offending students may be asked to leave class and will not be permitted back in with their phones.

Laptops are permitted in class provided they are being used for note taking purposes and are not distracting to surrounding students. Students with laptops will be asked to sit in specific areas. Anyone found to be using a computer in any manner deemed inappropriate by the instructor will not be permitted to further use the computer in class.

Recording devices (including tape recorders, digital recorders, cameras, camera phones, video recorders, etc.) are not permitted to be used in class.

Each state agency limits the amount of time students are allowed to miss. Instructors will explain this policy in class. Students missing in excess of the allowed time will be required to make up the time and material prior to testing.

Smoking of any type, including electronic cigarettes, is prohibited inside all Southern Bell School of Real Estate facilities. Students are permitted to smoke outside of the buildings, away from the building entrances.

Instructors will adjust for overall class comfort. Classroom temperatures may vary, please dress accordingly.

Students are asked to please replace chairs when leaving class and to place trash in the containers provided. Any students found to be vandalizing any Southern Bell School of Real Estate property will be dismissed from class, without a refund.

The nature of the State required material and the time frame allowed requires that class be presented in a highly structured format. Each instructor has his or her own specific policy on answering student questions which will be explained at the start of class.

Class exams are required to be administered under secure conditions. Students are not permitted to use cellular phones or apps on phones during exams. Students found cheating on an exam will be dismissed from class with no credit and no refund. Any incidents of suspected cheating may be reported to the appropriate state agency.

Southern Bell School of Real Estate is not responsible for items left in a students’ car, or for any towing charges if students have illegally parked. Southern Bell School of Real Estate will not reimburse students for any towing charges as a result of the student’s negligence. Common sense dictates that personal items such as cellular phones, briefcases, purses, cameras and sunglasses should be properly secured and not be left in automobiles at any time. Safety is always a concern, wherever you are. As an added precaution, we recommend that you use the “Buddy System'' when leaving school, especially at night.

Pursuant to FREC rule, recruiting for employment opportunities for any real estate brokerage firm must be accomplished outside the prescribed classroom instructional time. Noncompliance should be reported to the Commission.

Southern Bell School of Real Estate is not responsible for any items left in our facilities. If you have lost an item, please check with the office. Please do not leave valuable items (purses, briefcases, wallets, cell phones, etc.) unattended at any time.

Instructors have the authority to dismiss any student that the instructor feels is disruptive and or whose behavior may be detrimental to other students, at any time without a refund.

No pets of any kind are allowed in Southern Bell School of Real Estate offices, classrooms, or other premises. However, based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), “Service Animals” are not considered pets. Service animals are defined as dogs or miniature horses that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets.

The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. Therapy Dogs (TDs), Emotional Support Animals (ESAs), or any other dog whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and thus are not permitted on Southern Bell School of Real Estate premises.
