Proof of
Compliance
Renewal forms will contain a section for indication of satisfactory
continuing education.
The maintenance of records to be used to support credits claimed is
the responsibility of the licensee. Records required include, but
are not limited to:
- A log showing the type of activity claimed, sponsoring
organization, location, duration, instructor’s or
speaker’s name, and unit credits earned;
- Attendance verification records in the form of completion
certificates or other documents supporting evidence of attendance;
or
- Records as maintained by the American Institute of Architects
or other similar repositories.
These records must be maintained for a period of three years and
copies may be requested by the board for audit verification
purposes.
Non-Compliance
Penalties
A license will lapse without hearing on July 1 following the
expiration date of December 31st if the continuing education
requirement is not met.
The board will establish a number of licensees to be selected at
random to submit substantiating information to support their
continuing education claim. These submittals will be analyzed by
the board who will recommend renewal or denial of licensure based
on the result.
Those who are denied renewal will be provided a six-month
probationary period in which to acquire the necessary continuing
education.
Exceptions and
Exemptions
A licensee may be exempt from the continuing education requirements
for one of the following reasons:
- New licensees by way of examination or reciprocity shall be
exempt from their first renewal period.
- A licensee serving on temporary active duty in the armed forces
of the United States for a period of time exceeding one hundred
twenty (120) consecutive days in a year shall be exempt from
obtaining the continuing education hours required during that
year.
- Licensees experiencing physical disability, illness, or other
extenuating circumstances as reviewed by the board may be exempt.
Supporting documentation must be furnished to the board.
- Licensees who list their occupation as “Retired” may
choose to have their license moved to Emeritus status. This allows
the individual to maintain the license number, receive publications
from the board, receive a pocket card and maintain the title of
architect by submitting an annual fee however they are not allowed
to practice. The licensee may return their license to active status
by submitting an application, fees, continuing education for the
prior biennial renewal period and meeting current licensure
requirements.
- The board reserves the right to waive the continuing education
requirement at their discretion.
