Is my Ethics requirement with DPOR the same thing as my triennial ethics requirement with NAR?
No. They are two separate requirements. However, the same ethics class can satisfy both requirements simultaneously. For example, our CE Mandatory Hours Agency and Ethics class satisfies both the DPOR license requirement and the NAR Triennial Ethics.
Please note that not all Ethics courses satisfy the NAR Triennial Ethics. The class must cover NAR’s Code of Ethics. You must send us the completed Ethics course certificate so we can report it to NAR. You can learn more about NAR’s code of ethics here.
I took my Ethics class with another school, and it is on DPOR. Why is it not on NAR?
Real Estate Schools will submit your credit information to DPOR, but they cannot submit the credit to NAR. Only your primary Local REALTOR Association can send the Ethics completion to NAR. You must send us a completed Ethics Certificate so we can report the completion date to NAR. Learn more about NAR’s code of ethics here.
When is the next NAR (Triennial) Ethics Deadline?
We are currently in Cycle 8 of the NAR Ethics requirement. Cycle 8 began on January 1, 2025 and ends on December 31, 2027. Therefore, you must complete an approved ethics course before December 31, 2027 to be in compliance with this mandatory requirement.
