New York State - Continuing EducationRegistered New York architects are required to complete 36 hours of Continuing Education every 3 years. 24 hours must pertain to Health, Safety & Welfare (HSW).

  • CE Requirement:  36 Continuing Education (CE) hours for every three-year registration period, 24 of which must pertain to HSW. (see CE cycle below).
  • Renewal Date:  Registrations expire on the last day of the registrant's birth month every 3 years. Registrations must be renewed by the expiration date.
  • CE Cycle: Triennial - Credits must be earned within the 3-year period immediately preceding your registration renewal deadline (Dependant on individual registration dates). 
  • Accepted Coursework:  All 36 CE hours must be taken from an approved provider and in an acceptable subject area, such as through AIA-approved providers. For a list of acceptable subject areas, please refer to question 13 on the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions, Continuing Education for Architecture page.
    • A minimum of 24 of the 36 CE hours must qualify as Health, Safety & Welfare (HSW) credits.
    • As of May 3, 2023, all 36 hours of continuing education may be in "educational activities", which includes self-study programs with a quiz and passing score (e.g. on-demand webinars, home studies), teaching a course, or giving a technical presentation. 
  • Reporting of Credits:  Providers CANNOT report continuing education credits earned to the New York Board, neither can registrants (except in case of audit). Registrants attest to having met the required continuing education requirements on the registration renewal form. Design Arts Seminars reports credits electronically to the AIA and whenever possible.
  • Tracking of Credits:  Registrants are responsible for keeping record of successful completion of continuing education activities for at least 6 years from date of completion. 
  • Audit:  A random sample of New York Architects will be audited to verify compliance with continuing education requirements. If audited (and only if audited), registrants will be asked to provide a record of completion for each continuing education course or educational activity. AIA transcripts are considered acceptable documentation.
  • Carry-over credits: A maximum of 6 hours of continuing education hours may be carried over from one registration period to the subsequent registration period.
