The Atlanta Realtors School of Real Estate Student Manual is a comprehensive guide for prospective and current real‑estate students covering the school’s history, mission, contact information, faculty, facilities, and all policies governing enrollment, attendance, conduct, refunds, transfers, retakes, and course requirements. It details the curriculum for Community Association Management (CAM), Salesperson Pre‑license, Broker Pre‑license, Post‑license, and Continuing Education, including online/self‑study options and optional cram courses. The manual explains the attendance‑tracking SMS system, virtual‑class expectations, behavior standards, COVID‑19 precautions, non‑discrimination commitments, inclement‑weather procedures, and a strict no‑recruiting rule. It outlines refund, transfer, and retake fees, and provides extensive testing information: school‑exam eligibility, registration, on‑site and online proctored exam processes, exam‑day rules, test‑taking tips, and the legal prohibition against sharing exam content. The document also covers required licensing documentation (lawful‑presence affidavit, criminal‑history report), accommodations for disabilities and veterans, tutoring services, and veteran preference points. Overall, the manual serves as the operational and regulatory framework ensuring students understand their responsibilities, the school’s expectations, and the path to obtaining a Georgia real‑estate license.
