Instructor-Led Classes - Rescheduling, Late Arrival, & Early Departure

We recognize that our students sometimes experience unforeseen schedule conflicts after enrolling in a class. Our policies vary for different types of programs. Class rescheduling requests are only accepted by phone. See below or call our office for additional information.    (click an item to see more info)
  1. Attorney Continuing Legal Education Classes… (more)
    • Rescheduling
      Students may reschedule at no charge, subject to availability. Some courses are recorded and made available online, on-demand. Students may call and request a transfer to the online, on-demand version of the course.
    • Late Arrival
      Late arrival is permitted, however the Certificate of Completion will reflect the actual duration of attendance. Illinois MCLE rules require that credit may only be given in 15 minute increments and for actual attendance time. Actual time is required to be rounded down to the closest 15 minute increment. While late arrivals will be admitted to the classroom, we recommend arriving no later than 15 minutes prior to the scheduled class time to ensure full credit for attendance.
    • Early Departure
      Early departure is permitted, however the Certificate of Completion will reflect the actual duration of attendance. Some courses are recorded and made available online, on-demand. Students who were not able to remain for the duration of class may call and request to complete the remainder of the course online, on-demand (at no additional fee).
