Proof of Compliance
Reporting continuing
education credits is a condition for registration renewal. The
Continuing Education Annual Report Form must be received with the
renewal form in order to process the registration renewal. If one
form is received without the other, it will be returned to the
registrant. The registrant must supply enough detail on the form to
permit verification, must sign and certify the Continuing Education
Annual Report Form, and submit it with the appropriate renewal
application and fee. A random sample of all annual reports will be
audited to ensure accuracy and complacence.
The registrant is responsible for retaining proof of participation
in continuing education activities. Supporting documents may
include but are not limited to:
- A log showing activity claimed, sponsoring organization,
location, duration, etc.
- Attendance certificates
- Signed attendance receipts
- Paid receipts
- Sponsor's list of attendees (signed by a person in responsible
charge of the activity).
These records must be maintained for a
period of one (1) year. Copies must be furnished to the board for
audit purposes if requested.
Non-Compliance Penalties
Failure to fulfill the
continuing education requirements, or file the annual report,
properly completed and signed, shall result in non-renewal of an
architect's certificate of registration.
Exceptions and
Exemptions
A registrant may be exempt from the continuing education
requirement for any of the following reasons:
- A first time new registrant by examination or first time
reciprocal registrant shall be exempt for his/her first renewal
period.
- Registrant is an emeritus status architect.
- Registrant is 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.
- Registrants of another NCARB jurisdiction with either a
mandated or voluntary continuing education program, provided that
same jurisdiction accepts the Arkansas continuing education
requirements as satisfying their continuing education requirement,
and the registrant certify by affidavit and annual report that all
requirements of the jurisdiction for current continuing education
compliance and registration have been met.
- Personal hardship (considered on
an individual basis).
