CLE FAQs

I'm a NCAJ member but the system is charging me the non-member rate. Why? 

You must "LOGIN" in order to receive the NCAJ rate for a program. The system will only recognize you as a NCAJ member and offer you the NCAJ member rate at that time. 

What is an In-Person Live program? 

In-Person Live programs are generally full-day or multi-day programming provided by the NCAJ at a specific location at a specific time. Attendees are required to attend an In-Person Live program in person at the location it is being shown. Attendees may engage with the speakers directly during the presentation should they have questions. Course materials will be sent to all in-person attendees via electronic format 72 hours prior to the date of program.

What is a Virtual program? 

Virtual programs allows registrants to attend via live streaming. Virtual attendees are considered live attendees. The live streaming is accessible only on the day of the in-person live program. Course materials will be uploaded to the platform for downloading/viewing 72 hours prior to the date of the program.

What is an On-Demand CLE? 

On-Demand CLEs are previously recorded programs that are streamed online and available at your convenience. All purchased on-demand content expires 90 days from the date of purchase. You may obtain a Certificate of Attendance upon completion for your records. NCAJ will submit your cle credit to NCSB on your behalf. 

I received/viewed the seminar materials but there are some missing manuscripts?

NCAJ strives to send or upload seminar materials 48 hours prior to the date of the program. If there are missing materials for a presentation, they will be added as soon as they are received from the speaker. If you received your materials via electronic format (in-person registrants only), please return to the link to retrieve the missing materials. If you are attending virtually, late submissions will be uploaded as they are received. 

If I cannot attend the entire LIVE CLE, do I have to pay full price? Is CLE pro-rated? How do I receive my CLE credit for the portion I attended? 

If you can only attend a portion of a LIVE CLE, you will still be required to pay full tuition. CLE tuition is not pro-rated. 

If you find that you need to leave a LIVE CLE early or arrived late, you will need to obtain a partial credit form and return to us within 7 days from the date of the program.
