Clock Hours and CLE Credit

Clock Hours: Continuum College at the University of Washington is an approved Washington State Board of Education provider for continuing professional education. Last year the Institute was approved for 9 clock hours (Tuesday and Wednesday presentations) and 6 additional clock hours for Mini-Courses (2 clock hours each) on Monday. We anticipate the same approval for this year.

CLE Credit: The WSBA has awarded the 2023 PNW Institute on Special Education and the Law 9 credits for attending the Institute and 6 credits for Mini-Courses (2 credits each) including the Ethics Seminar. The same is true for the OSBA.

For all other states, you may apply as an individual for CLE credit. The number of CLE credits awarded varies from state to state.

The Washington State Association of School Psychologists (WSASP) has approved clock hours for attending the PNW Institute on Special Education and the Law. Two clock hours for each Monday Mini-Course (for up to 6 clock hours) and nine clock hours for attending the Institute on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

No additional fees are required to receive the WSBA or OSBA CLEs, Washington State clock hours, or WSASP clock hours. If you wish to earn CLE credits or Clock Hours for other states, please check with your state Bar Association, state Department of Education, or State Association of School Psychologists to see if attendance at this Institute would qualify for credit. You are advised to learn about what state specific procedure should be followed. Upon request, you will be provided a Certificate of Attendance.
