Proof of
Compliance
Each architect shall complete the language on the renewal
application pertaining to that architect's continuing education
activities during the calendar year immediately preceding the
license renewal period. Any untrue or false statement or the use
thereof with respect to course attendance or any other aspect of
continuing educational activity is fraud or misrepresentation and
will subject the architect and/or program sponsor to license
revocation or other disciplinary action.
To verify attendance each attendee shall obtain an attendance
certificate from the program sponsor. Additional evidence may
include but is not limited to attendance receipts, cancelled
checks, and sponsor's list of attendees (signed by a responsible
person in charge of the activity). A log showing the activity
claimed, sponsoring organization, location, duration, etc. should
be supported by other evidence. Evidence of compliance shall be
retained by the architect for 2 years after the end of the period
for which renewal was requested.
Any program in HSW contained in the record of an approved
professional registry will be accepted by the board as fulfilling
the continuing education requirements of these rules. The board
approves the AIA as a professional registry, and contact hours
listed in HSW in the AIA/CES Transcript of Continuing Education
Activities will be accepted by the board for both resident and
non-resident architects.
The board will annually select a number of renewal applications
randomly for audit for verification of compliance with these
requirements. Upon request by the board, evidence of compliance
shall be submitted to substantiate compliance of the requirements
of these rules.
Non-Compliance
Penalties
Failure to fulfill the continuing education requirements shall
result in non-renewal of that architect's certificate of
registration and loss of the right to practice architecture.
If the board finds that the architect willfully disregarded these
requirements, the board may subject the architect to all of the
disciplinary actions allowed by law, including license
revocation.
Exceptions and
Exemptions
A registrant may be exempt from the continuing professional
development requirements for any one or more of the following
reasons:
- A newly registered architect during his or her initial year of
registration.
- An emeritus status architect as defined by board rule.
- A civilian who serves on active duty in the Armed Forces of the
United States for a period of time exceeding ninety (90)
consecutive days during the annual report period.
- An architect who demonstrates to the satisfaction of the board
that meeting these requirements would work an undue hardship by
reason of disability, sickness, or other clearly mitigating
circumstances.
