For Members Renewing Licenses June 2010

And How To Check to See If You Are One of Those Agents
A totally automated licensing process for Minnesota REALTORS® will happen for the first time at the end of June this year! Please be sure to check www.pulseportal.com to review your Education Transcript. If the transcript is inaccurate, please begin asking questions of the education providers you chose to take your classes from—education providers are the only entities who can submit corrections to the staff at Pulse Portal.

1. Go to www.pulseportal.com
2. Choose program: "Minnesota Department of Commerce"
3. Choose a board: "Real Estate"
4. Click on "Review your CE Transcript" under Search Inquiry Services

You must disable your pop-up blocker to view reports (view instructions here). Do not use your browser's back button or all your data will be lost. You will need to enter your last name, license number and social security number. If you do not know your license number, return to "Search Inquiry Services" and click on "Search Licensees" to find and verify a person or entity that is licensed.

FYI: Course Pricing Information

All courses (unless marked *Not CE Pass eligible) are $29 until one week prior to the course start date. At that time, the price increases to $39.

How to Register for Classes Online:

1. Go to the MAAR website at www.mplsrealtor.com
2. Click "My Account (top of web page)
3. Enter your "Logon ID" (MAAR/MLS number) and "Password" (if you have never accessed IMS your password is up to the first 8 letters of your last name, all lowercase)
4. Under the "Education" heading, click on "Education Calendar and Registration"
5. Click on the class you wish to register for
6. Click on "Proceed to Registration"
7. Click "Add to Cart" (at this point, the class is just in your cart; you are NOT registered yet!)
8. You can "Register for More" or you may complete registration by paying for the class or classes OR charging your education card.

Only once your education card or credit card has been charged will you be registered for the class or classes. You will automatically be emailed a receipt for your classes. If you don't receive a receipt, you did not complete the registration process.

2010 Unlimited CE Passes

You can purchase the CE pass online, over the phone, or at the MAAR office. You will need to wait until approximately 9:00 a.m. the next business day for your card to be activated which allows you to register.

Get yours now while supplies last! Please be aware of the most important change in terms for the 2010 Unlimited CE Pass: After three course "no shows" (not attending a class for which you are registered), your CE pass will be terminated.

As always, please call or cancel your registration online if you know you won't be able to attend a class.
