How is my attendance reported?
Periodically during the webcast, a letter will appear in the slides window of the webcast console. At the end of the webcast, you will be asked to enter all the letters that appeared in the slides window in order to receive credit for the webcast. Once you correctly enter the letters, your completion is automatically recorded for reporting to the Commission on CLE and Specialization in South Carolina. You should still write the program in on your compliance report if it does not already appear there.

What proof do I have that I have completed the program?
Once you complete the program and enter the letters of the tracking code, your completion is automatically recorded for reporting to the Commission on CLE and Specialization in South Carolina. If you need credit for another state, or if you would like confirmation for your own records, you may complete an online affidavit and print a certificate of completion. Both the affidavit and the certificate are available via the "My Account" tab for thirty days after the purchase date of the webcast.
