OSB members must complete 45 MCLE credits in each 3-year reporting period. Special requirements apply to newly admitted and reinstated members. All MCLE credits must be completed by midnight on April 30 of the last year of a member's reporting period. A member's compliance report is due on or before May 31 of that year.
There are requirements for the type of credit you must earn, based on your reporting cycle. In addition to general MCLE credits, depending on the reporting period, members may be required to complete ethics, practical skills, access to justice, abuse reporting, and mental health/substance abuse education MCLE credits. For more information about credit requirements, see Rule of Licensure 8.1, or login to your Member Dashboard, to see which credit types you will need for your next reporting cycle.
There are three categories of MCLE credits, which are outlined in the table below. Categories 2 and 3 are capped, which means that members may only earn a limited number of MCLE credits from those categories toward their overall MCLE requirement (see Rule of Licensure 8.7).
If you reach the maximum number of credits for Category II and Category III in a reporting period, you will be unable to add additional activities for those categories and will receive an error message on your transcript.
Unlimited credits per reporting period
Up to 20 credits per 3 year reporting period
Up to 10 credits per short reporting period
Up to 6 credits per 3 year reporting period
Up to 3 credits per short reporting period
Remember, your MCLE Reporting tab on Member Dashboard will always have up-to-date information on the number and types of credit you need, as well as a list of credits that have been recorded for the current reporting period.
