Proof of
Compliance
Each architect shall, in addition to information submitted to the
board, maintain a written record of all
continuing education courses or programs undertaken during the
current renewal period and the renewal period immediately preceding
the current renewal period. These records shall be made available
to the board upon written request for review and audit. Failure to
provide this information in the time frame established by the board
shall constitute cause for disciplinary action by the board and may
cause for denial of the application for renewal of the
architect’s registration. Appropriate records shall consist of
the following:
- Certificate of attendance;
- Course or activity description;
- Transcripts/records of credits maintained by providers who may
qualify/certify such credits and activities;
- Other documentation verifying the content and time of the
course or event.
Non-Compliance
Penalties
The board may issue penalties that could include fines of up to
$1000 per offense, written reprimands, or the suspension or
revocation of the individual's license. Additional continuing
education requirements may also be imposed.
Exceptions and
Exemptions
An architect may be exempted from the general requirements of
paragraph (B) of this rule where any of the following situations
occur. Where an exemption is claimed, the architect shall submit
with the renewal application, the appropriate documentation
supporting the exemption for any of the following
circumstances:
- Architect is on full-time duty, or temporarily called up
for active duty, in the United States military service, where such
activity restricts participation in continuing education activities
meeting these requirements;
- Architect has experienced a disability or illness that
prevented the completion of the requirements in a timely
manner;
- Architect submits proof that requirements were not met due to
an unforeseen emergency, extreme hardship, or other similar
circumstances;
- If the architect otherwise meets all renewal requirements and
is registered in any other jurisdiction having continuing education
requirements, which the architect has met, provided that such other
jurisdiction accepts this jurisdiction’s continuing education
requirements as meeting its own.
