Expiration Date of Course: The CE Shop’s Pre-Licensing courses expire six months after the date of purchase.

For any reactivation or extension of the course after the seventh month, The CE Shop will charge the student 20% of the current retail price of the course for each 30-day extension or partial 30-day extension in the event that the course finally terminates before the end of the final 30-day extension. Students may also elect to re-enroll for 50% of the current retail price of the course, if the course has hit the year expiration or the student is at the 7 month mark and wants to repurchase and restart the course and enrollment. Extensions or reactivations cannot be granted beyond 12 months from the purchase of the course since, in all events, the course terminates 12 months after purchase.
Course Completions: A student may enroll in any number of courses with the following guidelines:
1. Schools may not offer a single correspondence course that is to be completed* in less than 2½ weeks. This rule applies regardless of the number of schools the student is taking courses from (see example below.)
2. No more than two courses may be completed in a five-week period.

OF NOTE: Students that enrolled prior to 9/25/19 are required to have their final exam proctored.
Certificates: Once The CE Shop has received the signed affidavit, your certificate of course completion will become available to download (and via email).
