CLE Staff Review Process
  • CLE staff review and approve courses on a case-by-case basis
  • Review takes 3-5 weeks from receipt of complete application
  • CLE staff will contact you if they have questions on your application
  • If you do not respond to requests for more information, CLE staff will close the application

Please Note: Minnesota CLE Rules do not permit reciprocity with other states but the Minnesota CLE Board will approve out of state courses if they meet Minnesota CLE Rule requirements.
