The fine print most trackers miss
North Dakota-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LMFT associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- At least 750 of the 1,500 direct clinical service hours must be with unmarried couples, married couples, separating and divorcing couples, or family groups including children, and at least 750 must be with individuals
- Up to 500 client-service hours and up to 100 supervision hours may transfer from a COAMFTE-accredited graduate program
- At least half of qualified supervision hours must be with a board-approved LMFT supervisor; any remaining hours may be with other board-approved professionals designated by that LMFT supervisor
- 30 hours CE every 2 years

- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 1,500-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios — at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the actual North Dakota Board of Social Work Examiners form from your records. Not a reproduction — the same PDF the board accepts.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker. 50% of every Pro subscription goes to Shane's Coffee — a vocational training program for people living with mental health challenges and disabilities.
