TITLE 22EXAMINING BOARDS
PART 23TEXAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
CHAPTER 535GENERAL PROVISIONS
SUBCHAPTER FREQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATION PROVIDERS, COURSES AND INSTRUCTORS FOR QUALIFYING EDUCATION
RULE §535.61Approval of Providers of Qualifying Courses

  (1) For purposes of this subsection, a student is affiliated with the approved provider where the student took his or her last qualifying course. The Commission will not count the student in calculating the approved provider's exam pass rate if the student's last qualifying course was taken more than two years before the date the approved provider or student submitted the course to the Commission.

  (2) The exam passage rate of approved providers for each category of license will be calculated on a quarterly basis by dividing the number of students affiliated with that approved provider, who passed the examination on their first attempt in the four-year period ending on the last day of the previous quarter, by the total number of the approved provider's graduates who took the exam for the first time during that same period.

  (3) If an approved provider offers courses to multiple license categories, the exam results for that approved provider will be calculated by license category. The passage rate for each license category that will be used to determine whether the approved provider has met or exceeded the established benchmark for the license category is the most current rate published by the Commission as of the date the Commission receives the timely application for renewal or, if the approval expired before being renewed, the most recent rate published by the Commission as of the expiration date of that provider's approval.

  (4) Providers who do not meet the established benchmark for a license category may be denied renewal for that license category or placed on probation by the Commission under terms acceptable to the Commission.

  (5) In determining whether an approved provider qualifies for renewal for a particular license category based on its examination passage rate, the Commission may consider a variety of factors, including:

    (A) the overall passage rate for sales, broker, and inspector applicants; and

    (B) any trends within the approved provider's passage rate over the four-year approval period.

  (6) The Commission will publish the exam passage rate of providers by category of license on the Commission's website on a quarterly basis.
