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).
