Where to park
Parking in Cambridge and Boston can be expensive and hard to find. Whenever possible, park your car at the hotel, and use public transportation to get to the MIT campus. If you must drive to the campus, on- and off-street parking is available for a fee, but most public parking is not very close to the center of the MIT campus. More parking information is available at the campus map website
Where to eat
During your course, light refreshments are generally provided in the morning and afternoon. Please refer to the course description to see if lunch will be provided. Unless otherwise noted, meals are not included in tuition.

Continuing Education Credit
Earn Continuing Education Units
In addition to receiving a certificate of completion, MIT Center for Real Estate participants may earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Units for each course are calculated based on learning contact hours. Each of the Center for Real Estate courses earn 1.5 units.
To earn CEUs
- Review the learning objectives (see course description)
- Attend both course sessions
- Provide feedback on your learning experience by completing and returning an evaluation survey on the last day of class.
Upon completion of the course and receipt of the feedback form, you will receive an email letter from MIT’s Professional Institute (http://web.mit.edu/mitpep/about/) awarding CEUs.
The Center for Real Estate has partnered with MIT’s Professional Institute, an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), an organization that evaluates programs according to strict, research-based criteria and guidelines.
To understand whether or not these CEUs may be applied toward professional certification, licensing requirements, or other required training or continuing education hours, please consult your training department or licensing authority directly.
