UK/CLE Frequently Asked Questions
Who do I contact about my CLE requirement?
For inquiries regarding your CLE transcript and compliance with the mandatory CLE requirement in Kentucky, contact the Kentucky Bar Association 502-564-3795, or visit their website Kentucky Bar Association > CLE > Member Portal. There, you will find the Supreme Court Rules Kentucky Bar Association > CLE > CLE Supreme Court Rules, earning and reporting deadline and requirement information, how credit is calculated, and you will be able to access your transcript. We are not a CLE regulatory authority; we are a CLE provider. As such, we are unable to access your CLE records, enter your credits into your records, provide extensions or exemptions, or any other regulatory service.
For inquiries regarding compliance, requirements, deadlines, etc., in other states, please contact your licensure state’s regulatory authority directly.
What is the difference between a “live” and a “self-study” program?
Our live programs are seminars attended in-person or by livestream, occurring in real time and accredited by the Kentucky Bar Association, as well as many other accrediting jurisdictions.
Our self-study programs are asynchronous, technologically transmitted programs that you complete at your own pace. UK/CLE offers online self-study courses in high-quality HD streaming video.
In Kentucky, our self-study and live programs may both be used without limitation toward earning your annual mandatory minimum. Some other states require additional interactivity for self-study courses that we are currently unable to provide. We are working toward being able to provide the level of interactivity required for Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee.
If you have questions regarding whether one of our live or self-study programs has been accredited by jurisdictions other than Kentucky, please contact us at ukcle@uky.edu.
How can I submit a topic or speaking proposal for a UK/CLE program?
If you would like to propose a CLE program topic or volunteer to serve as faculty for one of our programs, please email us your thoughts and ideas at ukcle@uky.edu.
Can credits earned through UK/CLE be used to earn other continuing education credit?
Usually yes, if the attorney submits a UK/CLE program to another governing body and that body approves. Every governing body has a different process for approving programs and may charge a fee. Attorneys can request attendance forms or other documentation from UK/CLE to fulfill the requirements of their governing body's approval process.
Certified Public Accountants (CPAs): Our programs are not pre-approved for CPE credit. You will need to follow the directions of your governing body, found at:
https://cpa.ky.gov/practicingcpas/Pages/Continuing-Professional-Education.aspx.
Certified Trust and Fiduciary Advisors (CTFAs): We submit the Bondurant | Bagby Estate Planning Institute for accreditation with the American Bankers Association (ABA). This is not done until July 1st to keep the application and the program in the same fiscal year.
Insurance Adjusters: Our Annual Workers' Compensation Institute is not eligible for Adjuster credit with the Department of Insurance.
