Oregon registered architects must obtain a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education (CE) in architectural health, safety, and welfare (HSW) prior to renewal. Be sure to review the specific continuing education requirements found in the Oregon Administrative Rules under OAR 806-010-0145. The CE requirements are waived for the first renewal cycle.
The Board automatically approves HSW courses that pertain to the practice of Architecture that have been approved by AIA, NCARB, or NAAB.
Certificates of completion, or transcripts, are only submitted to the Board if a registrant is selected for a continuing education audit, or to reinstate an expired registration. It is the registrant's responsibility to maintain documentary evidence of compliance with the continuing education requirements. We recommend you retain proof of completing CE for at least two years from the date it was obtained.
The Board performs a CE audit after each renewal season. If selected for the audit, you will be required to submit proof that you met the CE requirements in the form of certificates of completion or an AIA transcript.
