Proof of Compliance
Registrants shall verify completion of the contact hours for the previous calendar year with registration renewal.
All renewal applications shall require the completion of a continuing education form specified by the board documenting the contact hours claimed for the renewal period. The registrant shall supply sufficient detail to permit audit verification and shall certify and sign the continuing education form with the renewal application and fee.
The registrant shall maintain records to support credits claimed. Records required include:
- A log showing the type of activity claimed, sponsoring organization, location, duration, the name of the instructor or speaker and contact hours earned; or
- Attendance certificates or other evidence of participation; or
- Records maintained by the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System (AIA/CES).
Records shall be maintained by the registrant for a period of 2 years after the credit is claimed and provided to the board upon request.
The board may randomly audit the compliance of individual registrants and require proof in the form of records maintained pursuant to Rule .0905(b), of this Section, of participation in courses or programs that conform with the content and contact hours calculation requirements contained in G.S. 83A-6(a) and these rules.
Non-Compliance Penalties
Upon failure to renew within thirty days after the date set for expiration, the license shall be automatically revoked, but such license may be renewed at any time within one year following the expiration date upon proof of continuing competency and payment of the renewal fee plus a late renewal fee. After one year from the date of revocation, reinstatement may be made by the Board, or in its discretion, the application may be treated as new, subject to reexamination and qualification requirements as in the case of new applications.
Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall result in non-renewal of registration with the following exceptions:
- After the first year of implementation of these requirements, the registrant shall be renewed and must pay a two hundred, fifty dollars ($250) civil penalty. The civil penalty shall be dismissed if the required contact hours are earned prior to the next renewal.
- After the second year of implementation of these requirements, the registrant shall pay the civil penalty of two hundred, fifty dollars ($250).
Exceptions and Exemptions
A registrant shall be exempt from the continuing education requirements for any of the following reasons:
- New registrants by way of examination or reciprocity for the current registration year.
- A registrant serving on temporary active duty in the armed forces of the United States for a period of time exceeding ninety consecutive days in a year.
- Registrants experiencing physical disability or illness if supporting documentation is approved by the board. Such documentation shall be in the form of a sworn statement by the registrant, a statement from a physician, or medical records which show that the disability or illness prevented registrant's participation in a course which the registrant had enrolled, or prevented registrant's participation in the continuing education program for at least ninety consecutive days in a year.
- Registrants who receive emeritus status from the board. In order to return to active practice, registrants shall complete continuing education requirements for each exempted year not to exceed two years.
