NCARB Passes ARE “Rolling Clock” Requirement
The
National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) passed several
measures at its annual business meeting June 26 in Portland, Ore., including
implementation of a five-year “rolling clock” for completion
of the Architectural Registration Exam (ARE). The new rolling clock requirement
allows licensure candidates five years to complete all portions of the
ARE. Currently, 14 jurisdictions have imposed various time limits for
completion of the ARE, ranging from three years in Maine to eight years
in Washington, D.C. NCARB intends this resolution to resolve differing
requirements among the states and strengthen the validity of the exam.
In
discussing his agenda, incoming NCARB President Frank Guillot, FAIA, indicated
that during his term of office, NCARB will continue to expand its efforts
on the international front. He also emphasized that the council will increase
the scope of its Reciprocity Task Force in 2005 by examining impediments
to multi-state firm practice. Guillot also commented that the Council’s
Broadly Experienced Architect Committee is continuing to develop an initiative—now
in the developmental stage—that will allow qualified foreign architects
to apply for the NCARB Certificate.
