I was on active duty with the military but left active duty prior to September 1. Can I still claim the military exemption for the compliance year?
No. You will need to complete your 15 hours of CLE for the compliance year.
Can I earn all of my CLE credit through online courses?
Yes. CLE hours may be earned via in-person or distance-learning format. Distance learning includes both online programs and “real-time” or “streamed” seminars; the program must have interactive components. The Commission requires all distance learning to have a tracking mechanism and attendance certification by the provider. This includes webinars, recorded online sessions, and audio-only sessions.
