Calculations of Hours of Credit: The following standards will be used to measure the hours of credit to be given for acceptable continuing professional education: (a) For purposes of CPE credit hours, 50 minutes of continuous participation in a program shall constitute one CPE credit hour. The shortest recognized program must consist of 10 minutes of continuous participation. (b) For continuous programs, conferences and conventions, when individual segments are less than 50 minutes, the sum of the segments will be considered equal to one total program. For example - five 30-minute presentations would equal 150 minutes and should be counted as three contact hours. (c) Only class hours, actual hours of attendance, or equivalent (and not student hours devoted to preparation) will be counted. (d) A participant who is not present for an entire program may claim credit only for the actual time he attended.
