Proof of
Compliance
Registrants shall verify completion of the contact hours for the
previous calendar year with registration renewal.
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

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
If any credits are disallowed by the Board, then the registrant
shall have 90 calendar days after notification to substantiate the
original claim or obtain other contact hours to meet the minimum
requirements.
Licensees who fail to complete the continuing education requirement
by the end of the previous calendar year shall have his or her
license placed on probation and shall complete the outstanding
continuing education by December 30th of the current calendar year.
If the licensee fails to complete the outstanding continuing
education requirements his or her license shall be suspended for 60
days. If the licensee fails to complete the outstanding continuing
education within the suspension period his or her license shall be
revoked.

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.
