EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

Nebraska statutes require all applicants to be high school graduates or hold a certificate of equivalency, or evidence of participation or enrollment in a home school program from the Department of Education. If an applicant has received a GED (General Equivalency Diploma) a copy of the diploma must be enclosed with the application.

All education requirements must be completed, and proof of such completion must be submitted to the Commission with the application. No license will be issued until official proof of completion of the education requirement is received in the Real Estate Commission Office. This proof can be in the form of transcripts or certificates of completion. Persons taking courses at colleges or universities from which transcripts are the official proof may use letters from their instructors or grade reports as initial proof for application purposes, but no license will be issued until an official transcript has been received from the college or university. Official transcripts must be mailed directly from the college or university to the Commission office.
