What does the Tennessee CLE Commission charge to accredit a course?
Tennessee does not charge a fee to accredit a course. Providers pay fees for attorney attendance when attendance is submitted to the Commission. Providers pay $2 per approved credit hour for each attorney licensed in Tennessee who attends the program. This provider’s fee, along with the list of attendees, should be submitted electronically through the […]
If I want to pay by check, how should it be written?
“CLE Commission” is sufficient. Please include your BPR number on the check or in the correspondence accompanying the check so funds are properly applied.
How do I make an online payment?
Instructions on how to make an online payment may be found here.
How do I find out why a course was denied?
Pull up the course. Click on the MAIN tab, and look in the notes section. The reason(s) for the denial will be listed in this section.
I submitted attendance for one of the attendees incorrectly. Can I just submit it again for the correct amount?
NO. Any subsequent postings to the same attorney’s account for the same course are seen as duplicate postings and are ignored. To correct an erroneously reported attendance amount, you must contact the CLE Commission and request to have the incorrect posting deleted. Then you can submit the correct attendance for that attorney again. Don’t forget […]
How do I calculate speaker credit? Is it applied automatically when I mark someone as a speaker?
No, there is no automatic calculation for speaker credit. Marking someone as a speaker only allows you to give them more credit than the course was approved for. The provider must calculate the number of hours the speaker should receive based on the number of pages provided as handouts and enter those hours for the […]
How do I calculate the posting fee I owe?
To calculate the posting fee, multiply the total number of attendance hours submitted by $2.00. For example, 10 attendees who each attended for 1.5 hours, would cost $30.00. If one of the attendees was the speaker and provided ten pages of handouts, the cost is $27.00 for the attendees (9 x 1.5 hours x $2.00) […]
I made a payment and identified the batch/course number. Why hasn’t the batch posted?
Payments are not applied to specific courses or batches. They are simply credits toward the balance you owe. If the payment is not sufficient to pay the entire balance due for your unposted courses, the batch/course will not post.
Attorneys have not received credit for attending a course even though attendance batches were submitted weeks ago. What is the problem?
A number of things can cause this: The batch is still pending; please check for any errors and submit. The Board of Professional Responsibility (BPR) number used to enter attendance for the attorney was not accurate, so the attorney didn’t get the credit. Payment for the attendance batch did not go through. Unpaid attendance will […]
We forgot to give speaker credit when we submitted our attendance batch. What do we need to do?
You MUST contact the Commission and have the attendee hours previously reported for the speaker deleted from their account. After the hours have been deleted, you can resubmit the proper credit for the speaker. If you submit new attendance prior to deleting the first submission, it is seen as a duplicate posting and ignored. You […]
