Change in Education Processing
Effective Tuesday, September 3, CART will not be accessible as we transition to EdConnect, our new course administration platform. Classes cannot be added during this time. In addition, you’ll need to download and supply attendance records with the template Excel spreadsheet via email to education@texasrealtors.com. The M1 number column on the template spreadsheet is only when processing CRD/REBI courses.
We appreciate your patience during this transition. We’ll let you know when the new system is available to use and trainings are scheduled. Please contact education@texasrealtors.com with any questions.
Dollars and Sense of Sustainability
Please encourage your members to attend the four webinars scheduled September 23-October 2 regarding the dollars and sense of Sustainability. We’ve also scheduled three CE classes that you can offer for free to your members October 7-9, 1pm - 3pm Central Time via Zoom. Here's a link to the CE classes that you can select through the “add a broadcast calendar” feature in CART (until Tuesday). All classes are free (and intended to be offered for free) thanks to the Sustainability grant we received from NAR.
