Proof of Compliance
Each registrant shall submit, on a form provided by the board, a signed affidavit attesting to the fulfillment of continuing education requirements during the preceding period of one fiscal year ending June 30. Each affidavit may be subject to audit for verification of compliance with requirements.

Registrants shall retain proof of fulfillment of requirements for a period of 1 year after submission in the event the affidavit is selected for audit.

Non-Compliance Penalties
Failure to fulfill the continuing education requirements or to file the required annual report, properly completed and signed, shall be considered a violation of the Architectural Registration Law.

Exceptions and Exemptions
A registrant may be exempt from the continuing education requirements for one of the following reasons:

• A first-time new registrant by examination or reciprocity will be exempt for the first renewal.
• Registrant is a civilian who serves on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States for a period of time exceeding 90 consecutive days during the annual report period.
• Registrants are non-residents of South Carolina and are required to obtain continuing education hours for license renewal by the licensing authority of any state in which he or she is registered.
