21 NCAC 58E .0204. ACTIVE AND INACTIVE STATUS;RENEWAL OF APPROVAL

(a)  An instructor's initial approval shall be issued on active status and shall remain on active status during the approval period so long as the instructor takes the Commission's annual Update Instructor Seminar, described in Rule .0203(e) of this Section, before September 1 of each year.  An instructor may teach the General Update Course or Broker-In-Charge Update Course while his or her license is on active status. When an instructor fails to complete the Update Instructor Seminar by September 1, the instructor's approval shall be placed on inactive status and shall remain on inactive status until the seminar is taken or until the expiration of the instructor's approval, whichever occurs first. An instructor shall not teach any version of the update course while his or her approval is on inactive status.

(b)  If an instructor whose approval is on active status is unable to take the Update Instructor Seminar on any of the scheduled seminar dates as shown on the Commission's website at www.ncrec.gov before September 1 of any year due to a personal hardship such as a personal or family illness or a business conflict, the instructor may request and obtain from the Commission an extension of time to take the seminar on a seminar date following the September 1 deadline. The instructor shall not complete the course later than December 1 of that year.  If an extension of time is granted, the instructor's approval shall remain on active status during the extension period.

(c)  Commission approval of update course instructors expires on the third December 31 following issuance of approval. Approved instructors shall file applications for renewal of approval on a form provided by the Commission on its website at www.ncrec.gov on or before the December 1 immediately preceding expiration of approval. The form shall request information pertaining to the applicant's qualifications under Rule .0203(c) of this Section. In order to renew their approval, applicants must satisfy the criteria for original approval, with the exception of the requirement in Rule .0203(d) of this Section, and their approval shall be on active status as described in Paragraph (a) of this Rule. Applicants for renewal of approval whose approval is on inactive status shall also take the Commission's annual Update Instructor Seminar for the real estate license year in which the applicant's renewal of approval would be effective.

(d)  In order to reinstate an expired instructor approval, the former instructor must file an application on a form provided by the Commission and shall satisfy the criteria for original approval set forth in Rule .0203(b) and (c) of this Section.  If the applicant's prior instructor approval was on inactive status at the time the approval expired, the applicant must additionally take the Commission's annual Update Instructor Seminar for the real estate license year in which the applicant's reinstated approval would be effective.  If the applicant's prior instructor approval has been expired for more than one year, the applicant must also satisfy the criteria for original approval set forth in Rule .0203(d) of this Section.
