ARE 4.0 Reminder
If you have not PASSED any division of ARE 3.1, the last date to schedule an ARE 3.1 division is May 13, 2008 and the last date to test is May 15, 2008. Anyone who has not passed a division of ARE 3.1 prior to these deadlines will test in ARE 4.0. Whether you transition to ARE 4.0 or stay in ARE 3.1 is solely based on the date you test, not the date you receive your score report. If you have passed a division of ARE 3.1 prior to May 15, 2008, you will be unaffected by these scheduling restrictions. The first day to schedule an ARE 4.0 exam is May 18, 2008. The first day that ARE 4.0 will be available in the test center is July 1, 2008.

Continuing Education
The North Carolina Board of Architecture has implemented a modest
continuing education requirement - only 12 hours of health, safety
and welfare courses per year. The Board’s current list of
approved providers of CE credits has been posted on the NCBA web
site. However, architects should be aware that any program or learning
experience that they, as a professional, believe provides pertinent
HSW education is acceptable for CE credit, as long as it can be
supported and documented.
Insomuch as Continuing Education is a phenomenon related to widespread
national and political concerns regarding professional capability
and accountability, the NC Board has tried to enact reasonable requirements
that provide practical options. While some states have mandated
a limited group of providers from which to select, North Carolina
has crafted our Rules with the maximum flexibility needed and personal
control for the architect to select experiences that will prove
most useful and educational for each individual’s specific
situation. Therefore, the Board encourages each licensee to exercise
suitable professional judgment when selecting HSW learning experiences.
Each year on your annual renewal form you will be asked to indicate
whether or not you have complied with the Board's rules on continuing
education. You must certify that you did (or did not) comply. You
are not required to submit documentation of your continuing education
with the renewal form. However, you are required to keep a log detailing
it. Should you be audited, you will be required to show proof of
continuing education.
Board staff can not determine if a course is appropriate or acceptable
as HSW. You must make this determination on your own, as a professional.
