North Dakota-Specific Information
In North Dakota, theft-related offenses are defined in the Criminal Code. Theft of property, theft of services, and related conduct (including shoplifting and use of theft-detection shielding devices) are consolidated within the same chapter of law. North Dakota also has a Retail Theft Act that authorizes merchants to reasonably detain suspected shoplifters and pursue civil remedies in addition to any criminal case. Grading and consequences depend on value, conduct, and prior history. State law sets felony and misdemeanor thresholds and includes specific treatment for lower‑value first‑time shoplifting, while repeat shoplifting within defined time windows can trigger higher penalties. Courts may impose restitution when a victim has pecuniary losses, and defendants have a process to request a hearing about the amount. If restitution is ordered, courts can docket it similarly to a civil judgment for collection purposes. How a theft awareness course fits into a North Dakota matter varies. Prosecutors may offer pretrial diversion, and with court approval such agreements can include education or counseling. Judges can also impose program participation as a probation condition along with supervision by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or other local programs. For juveniles, North Dakota’s juvenile courts and diversion agencies sometimes use theft or shoplifting awareness programming as part of accountability and skill‑building. Because these decisions are local and case‑specific, always verify the required hours, delivery format (online vs. in‑person), and any documentation expectations with the authority handling your case before enrolling.
How North Dakota grades theft and shoplifting
North Dakota’s Criminal Code consolidates theft offenses and then grades them by value, conduct, and prior history. Theft is generally a felony if the value exceeds $50,000 (Class A felony) or $10,000 (Class B felony). It is a Class C felony at $1,000 or more, for certain items (for example, firearms), or in other specified circumstances. All other theft is a Class A misdemeanor unless the statute’s shoplifting provision applies. For a first offense shoplifting case with merchandise valued at $500 or less, the statute allows Class B misdemeanor treatment if certain conditions are met at charging or sentencing. Repeat shoplifting can escalate: a second or third such offense within three years becomes a Class A misdemeanor, and a fourth within four years is a Class C felony. These grading rules matter because they influence charging decisions, plea discussions, sentencing ranges, and whether program participation (such as a theft awareness class) is paired with other conditions like community service or restitution.
Restitution and civil recovery in North Dakota retail theft cases
If a victim has out‑of‑pocket losses, North Dakota courts generally order restitution and provide a process to request a hearing about the amount and ability to pay. Once ordered, restitution can be docketed in the same manner as a civil judgment for enforcement. Separately, the Retail Theft Act authorizes merchants to reasonably detain suspected shoplifters and to seek civil damages. An adult who commits theft from a merchant can be liable for the merchandise’s value, exemplary damages up to a set amount, court costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees. For minors, parents or guardians may have limited civil liability, and the statute places conditions on obtaining any admission from a minor. A criminal conviction is not required for the merchant to bring a civil action, though the statute restricts simultaneous pursuit while a criminal case is pending. Because restitution and civil claims are distinct from education requirements, confirm with your authority what proof must accompany your class certificate.

Acceptance & Requirements in North Dakota
There is no single statewide theft awareness course requirement or approval list in North Dakota. Acceptance is determined by the requesting authority—such as a district or municipal court, a prosecutor for pretrial diversion, a probation officer, an employer, or a school. Before purchase, contact the source of your requirement to confirm: the number of hours (4, 8, 12, or 16), whether an online course is acceptable, your completion deadline, and what must appear on your documentation. If your case includes restitution or a civil claim from a retailer, ask whether proof of payment or additional forms are also required. For criminal matters, your clerk of court or supervising officer can clarify local procedures; for probationers, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation offices can confirm supervision and submission preferences. CourtCure cannot guarantee acceptance by a particular authority.
Important: Acceptance is determined by the court, probation department, employer, school, agency, or other requesting authority. CourtCure does not automatically represent a course as approved, licensed, or accepted by a particular authority unless that status has been specifically verified.
Completion Certificate & Documentation
After successful completion of your selected CourtCure theft awareness course, you can access the completion certificate/documentation provided with that course. For a North Dakota referral or requirement, confirm before enrolling what the requesting authority expects the completion document to show and how it should be submitted. The same CourtCure completion process is used for students in every state; acceptance, required hours, deadlines, and document requirements remain subject to the requesting authority.
Theft Awareness in North Dakota — Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a single approved theft awareness course for North Dakota?
No. North Dakota does not publish a statewide approval list or mandate one specific provider. Program acceptance—hours, online format, and deadlines—is set by your requesting authority. Verify requirements with your court, prosecutor, probation officer, employer, or school before enrolling.
Will an online class satisfy a pretrial diversion or deferred imposition agreement in North Dakota?
It can, if your agreement allows it. North Dakota’s criminal rules permit diversion agreements to include education or counseling when approved by the court. Confirm the exact hours, format, and documentation with the prosecutor and court listed in your agreement.
How many hours should I choose for a North Dakota case?
Only your requesting authority can set the required hours. CourtCure offers 4, 8, 12, and 16-hour options so you can match an order. If your paperwork doesn’t specify hours, ask the court, prosecutor, or supervising officer before you enroll.
Does taking this class affect restitution or a store’s civil claim?
A class does not replace restitution or civil recovery. North Dakota courts can order restitution and provide a process to dispute the amount, and merchants may pursue separate civil remedies in retail theft matters. Follow your order and submit any required payment proof separately.
