CLE CREDIT INFORMATION

Am I eligible to receive CLE credit in my state for participating in the online course?

You may be eligible to receive CLE credit for participating in a NACUA online course. MCLE credit is subject to each state's rules and regulations. States differ in their definition of "CLE". Some states do not approve online courses for MCLE credit or have specific rules regarding who may earn credit through distance-learning formats such as online CLE, whether the online CLE counts toward participatory or self-study credit, or the maximum number of credit hours that may be earned through online CLE.

Please contact your state if you have any questions about MCLE compliance and reporting in general. Click here for contact information for state bars that require CLE information.

*The following states do allow self-study credit: AK, AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, KY, ME, MO, MT, NJ, NV, NM, NY, ND, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WV, WY

I would like NACUA to apply on my behalf for CLE Credit. How do I do this?

  • After completing the course, participants may send a request to NACUA to submit the program for approval to appropriate agencies of the states that permit self-study credit.

  • Attorneys interested in having NACUA apply for their CLE credit must return the Attendance Record and the Certificate of Attendance to NACUA through our online submission portal (https://www.nacua.org/submitCLE). 

  • Depending on the state's rules, NACUA will process your credit with the MCLE record-keeping authority in the state(s) you provided.

Please note, if you are requesting credit in more than one state you must fill out one form per state.
