• The courses will be held at STCAR’s office in Eagan, just minutes south of the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America. Click here for a map as well as a list of nearby hotels.
• Students are required to sign-in each morning, so please arrive no later than 8:15 a.m. each day to give you enough time to get settled. A light breakfast will be provided. There will be a one-hour break for lunch. Click here for a list of nearby restaurants.
• As a courtesy to others, cell phones, laptops and all electronic/communication devices must be silenced or turned off during the program. There will be breaks throughout the day and during lunch when you can check messages.
• Because these courses have been approved for Minnesota real estate continuing education credit, if you miss more than 15 minutes of instruction throughout the two days, you will not receive CE credit for this course. This is a rule from the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
