SPECIAL NOTICE TO NC LICENSEES WITH A SC LICENSE
As of July 1, 2024, North Carolina licensees with a South Carolina license are no longer allowed to use their resident jurisdiction’s continuing education to satisfy South Carolina’s CE requirements. All South Carolina licensees renewing in 2025 are now required to attain SC-approved CE to renew their license. These courses need to be offered by SC-approved providers and meet the standards set by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission.
Don’t worry, Canopy has got you covered! We offer SC-approved CE courses in partnership with our online education affiliate, The CE Shop. Click the logo or click here to register for a course.
