Green Policy
The MCLE Board's office is paperless. Applications to accredit courses and providers are accepted via e-mail only. Each application form includes instructions and the e-mail address to use. Paper applications are not reviewed. Paper applications and related hard-copy documents are shredded after 30 days unless the applicant requests and pays for their return. Due to electronic storage constraints, the Board's e-mail server has a limit of 5 megabytes per e-mail. Because the Board’s server automatically rejects all e-mails that exceed 5 megabytes, the Board does not receive those e-mails. If your e-mail exceeds 5 megabytes, please zip the attachments or divide the attachments into more than one e-mail. The Board’s server sends an auto-response when the Board receives an e-mail. If you have questions about submitting an application, please contact the office before submitting it.
