Policies & Procedures
THE QUEEN ACADEMY OF REAL ESTATE MISSION AND CORE VALUES
Our mission is to provide affordable, comprehensive real estate courses that foster high industry standards, professionalism, and leadership.
Our Core Values are personified in the American tradition of independence, self-determination, and integrity.
Our goal is to provide students and real estate professionals with coursework that gives them the knowledge and tools needed to successfully meet the challenges found in the modern real estate industry.
Student Information Disclosure
The underlying philosophy for all student information disclosure policies will be of a confidential nature of the relationship between the student and QARE.
Information about a student’s grades or attendance will not be divulged to anyone (other than PSI) without the written consent of the student.
To preserve the mutually beneficial relationship which QARE enjoys with its friends and partners, information indicating a student’s enrollment, excluding grades and attendance, will be informally and confidentially shared with its partnering brokerages, the reimbursing authorities, providing such information is not used for any purpose detrimental to the student’s own interest.
It is understood that QARE must share the student’s information, including grades, attendance and identification information, to PSI in order to assist the student with registering for the PSI exam. The student agrees to let QARE share and upload their information to PSI so they may register for their state and national exams to attain a real estate license. If the student does not wish to forward their information to PSI, the student can request in writing not to send their information to PSI.
Payments/Refunds/Cancellation Policies
Tuition must be paid in full on or before the first day of class.
Tuition refunds will not be given except under special or unusual circumstances. Requests must be in writing and must be approved by the QARE President.
In the event school has to cancel a class before the completion of the course, student would be entitled to a full refund or be moved to the next available class.
Cancellation Policy
Thereafter no refunds shall be processed unless approved by the QARE President. Tuition refunds for special or unusual circumstances, approved by the QARE President, shall be subject to a 25% cancellation fee. No refunds will be issued for failing a course. Online only courses are non-refundable.
QARE does not refund for books or distance learning courses.
Materials/Handouts

Inclement Weather Policy
