the seller of goods or services obtained pursuant hereto or with the proceeds, hereof Recovery hereunder by the debtor

TIME LIMITS:
Students should complete and pass each course/program within one year from the start date.

start of the extension).
ATTENDANCE:
The student will be responsible for completing and passing their coursework within the specified TIME LIMITS for

MAKE-UP PROCEDURES:
Once a student starts a Module Exam, the student will have a maximum of 5 tries to retake the assessment for a passing
score of 70%. Each Exam retake can be done on their own time. It is up to the student if they need longer to review the
course materials before a retake. As referred to in the TIME LIMITS section above, the student will have one year to
complete and pass all exams of their course module(s), after which they could request extensions up to an additional 18
months for a fee of $50 per month. The maximum amount of time for the student to pass the course is 24 months or 2
years from the course start date. The high score requirement, of minimum 70% on the Module Exams, is meant to
encourage the inspector applicant to strive for excellence and give their all when studying the content in preparation for
taking the State and National exams for licensing.
Each Real Estate Inspector applicant must achieve a score of at least 70% on the State portion of the licensing exam, and
each Professional Inspector applicant must achieve a score of at least 75% on the State portion of the examination.
Examination results are valid for a period of one year from the date the examination is passed. If the applicant fails the
examination three consecutive times, the applicant may not apply for reexamination or submit a new license application
unless the applicant submits evidence to the Commission that the applicant has successfully completed additional
qualifying education after the date of the third failed examination, as follows:
1. For an applicant who failed the National part of the licensing examination, Property and Building
Inspection Module I or Property and Building Inspection Module II must be taken and passed again; or
2. For an applicant who failed the State part of the examination, Texas Law Module, or Texas Standards of
Practice Module must be taken and passed again.
EXAM PROCTORING:
After completing all the course/module exercises and passing all quizzes and lesson assessments, the student must pass
the final exam in each module to receive course credit. All of our pre-licensing final course/module exams are proctored
by a credible third party to ensure the integrity of our students and our exam results.
ALL FINAL EXAMS ARE CLOSED BOOK, CLOSED NOTE AND SINGLE BROWER TESTS.
SITA has partnered with Proctor360 Inc. to offer our students online proctoring, which means you are able to take your
final course exam at your convenience from the comfort of your home while being monitored by a remote proctor
through video and screen sharing capabilities. Utilizing AI technology, Proctor360 prevents cheating attempts during
online testing as well as monitors and controls students’ behavior during the testing process.
Review the steps below to prepare for your online proctored final exam.
Once logging on through Proctor360, students’ identities are verified via AI then double-checked by SITA.
The Proctor360 AI technology monitors students’ behaviors and actions during the examination and flags behaviors that
are considered possible cheating. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following behaviors:
• Gaze Detection
• Speech Detection
• Absence of the Person
• Unauthorized Persons
• Browser Tab Change
• Earphone Usage
• Smartphone Usage
ALL AI FLAGS ARE REVIEWED BY SITA PROCTORS FOR FINAL VERIFICATION.
Once the tests are reviewed and deemed clear of academic dishonesty, students will receive their grade and course
certificate. If an exam session is invalidated, SITA will contact the student for next steps regarding exam retakes.
