General information

• Minnesota Insurance credit approval is granted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
• One Minnesota Insurance hour = 50 minutes (equivalent to a CPE hour).
• You must attend the full seminar or conference to be eligible for Minnesota Insurance Credit. The MN Department of Commerce does not grant partial credit for attendees who arrive late or leave early.

How to receive Minnesota Insurance credit if it is offered by the MNCPA

• You must sign in at the registration desk on the Minnesota Insurance credit sign-in sheet and provide your Minnesota Insurance license number. It is necessary that you provide an accurate license number for you to receive Minnesota Insurance credit.
• For conferences with multiple breakout sessions, you must register for the sessions you plan to attend.
• You must attend the entire seminar or conference. The Minnesota Department of Commerce does not allow partial credit, so you may not arrive late or leave early.
• The Minnesota Department of Commerce requires verification of 100% attendance at the event. When you check in at the event, you will receive an attendance form that must be initialed by an MNCPA staff member at the beginning and end of each session. You will need to return this form to an MNCPA staff member following the closing session.
• The MNCPA will provide each attendee with a timed outline and course syllabus, as required by the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
  
  Please note: Approval from the Minnesota Department of Commerce may still be pending at the time of the seminar/conference. If this is the case, attendees who signed up for Minnesota Insurance credit will be notified by the MNCPA following the seminar/conference regarding approval or denial.

How Minnesota Insurance credits are reported

• For approved events, the MNCPA will report the continuing education credits to the Minnesota Department of Commerce via the Sircon database one to two weeks after the event, or when approval is received from the Minnesota Department of Commerce (whichever is later). Credits will be reported only if you follow the requirements shown above.
• After the continuing education credits have been processed, the MNCPA will mail each attendee a certificate of attendance showing the course approval number, number of credits earned, etc.

Please Note: Effective August 1, 2010, the Minnesota Department of Commerce will no longer be accepting individual applications for CE course approval. For more information, please contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce at 651-286-6319 or refer to their website.
