Proof of Compliance
Registered Architect shall be required to complete and submit forms prescribed by the Board certifying compliance with the continuing education requirement for renewal of registration. Required documentation may include a syllabus, agenda, itinerary or brochure published by the sponsor of the activity, as well as proof of attendance. The Board reserves the right to require additional information or documentation regarding continuing education compliance from a Registered Architect.

Non-Compliance Penalties
A licensee that has failed to renew on or before the renewal date may apply to renew their expired registration within six (6) months following the renewal date; provided however, that those licensees with a pending renewal from the 2003 biennial registration period may submit such application within six months of the effective date of this Rule, unless otherwise required by law.

All late renewal applications must be accompanied by

  • Renewal fee
  • Late renewal fee
  • Documentation of compliance with the continuing education requirement prior to the renewal date.

A licensee who has failed to complete the continuing education requirement by the renewal date may request an extension of time of up to six (6) months following the renewal date to satisfy the prior license period continuing education requirement; provided however, that those licensees with a pending renewal from the 2003 biennial registration period may satisfy such continuing education requirement with 6 months of the effective date of this Rule, unless otherwise required by law.

No continuing education completed during the late period may be used to satisfy future renewal requirements.

Not Transferable - A certificate of registration shall not be transferable.

Revocation, Suspension, Cancellation or Non-renewal of Registration - In the event of revocation, cancellation, suspension or nonrenewal of any registration, the registered architect shall be required immediately to return his/her Certificate of Registration, seal and license to the Board.

Exceptions and Exemptions
The Board may, in its discretion, grant an extension of time within which the continuing education requirement must be completed for reasons, including, but not limited to, illness, disability, military service, and exceptional family responsibilities. The period of hardship extension granted shall be determined by the Board. Request for a hardship extension must be in writing and submitted to the Board prior to the expiration of the licensing period.
