Proof of Compliance
A registrant seeking renewal shall complete the certification on the renewal form and indicate the number of PDH’s claimed for the renewal period. If applicable, the registrant shall also indicate the number of carryover PDH’s claimed for the renewal period. Upon completion of the certification, the registrant shall complete the renewal form and submit the appropriate fee.
Each registrant is responsible for maintaining records which may be used to support credits claimed.
Required records include but are not limited to the following:
- A log showing the type(s) of activity claimed, sponsoring organization, location, duration, instructor’s or speaker’s name and PDH credit(s) earned; and/or
- Attendance verification records in the form of completion certifications, signed attendance receipts, paid receipts, a copy of a listing of participants signed by a person in responsible charge or other documents supporting evidence of attendance.
Records must be maintained for a period of four (4) years and copies must be furnished to the Board for audit verification purposes within thirty (30) days of the Board’s request. A registrant failing to supply the requested records in a timely fashion will be deemed in noncompliance.
Non-Compliance Penalties
Unless a request for inactive or retired status is made, any registrant failing to furnish the required certification during the renewal period, properly completed and signed, shall not be granted renewal of registration by the Board and shall lose the right to practice in the State of Tennessee, effective six (6) months past the certificate’s date of expiration.
Exceptions and Exemptions
A registrant may be exempt from continuing education requirements for any of the following reasons:
- New registrants by way of examination or comity shall be exempt for their first registration period. For each renewal period thereafter, registrants must demonstrate completion of the required continuing education.
- A non-career military registrant serving on active duty in the armed forces of the United States for a period of time exceeding one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days in a calendar year shall be exempt from obtaining the Professional Development Hours required during that year.
- A registrant employed as an architect and assigned to duty outside the United States for a period of time exceeding one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days in a calendar year shall be exempt from obtaining the Professional Development Hours required during that year.
- A registrant who lists his or her occupation as “Retired” or “inactive” on the Board-approved renewal form and who further certifies that he or she is no longer practicing shall be exempt from the Professional Development Hours required. In the event such a person elects to return to active practice, PDH’s must be earned for each year exempt not to exceed the annual requirement for two (2) years before the person returns to active practice.
