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.
• records must be maintained for a period of three years and copies may be requested by the board for audit verification purposes.
• Penalties
  The license will become nonrenewable if the continuing education requirements are not met within 12 months of the license expiration.
  
  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.
  
  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 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 the 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.
