(1) Eligibility.

a. To be admitted to the examination, an applicant for licensure shall:
(1) Have completed the eligibility requirements of the education standards for NCARB certification, which include a professional degree from a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) or the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) or be a student actively participating in an NCARB-accepted Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL) option within a NAAB-accredited professional degree program in architecture, and

(2) Be enrolled in or have completed the NCARB Architectural Experience Program.

b. NCARB shall notify the testing service of the applicant's eligibility prior to the applicant's scheduling of an examination.

(2) Documentation of AXP training units shall be submitted on AXP report forms published by NCARB and shall be verified by signatures of the licensed architects serving as the intern architect's supervisors in accordance with the requirements outlined in the NCARB Architectural Experience Program Guidelines. The completed AXP report form shall demonstrate attainment of an aggregate of the minimum number of value units in each training area and shall be submitted to NCARB for evaluation.

(3) All eligibility requirements shall have been verified and satisfied in accordance with the NCARB Architectural Experience Program Guidelines, which is available through NCARB's website www.ncarb.org or the architectural examining board.

(4) To be eligible for licensure, all applicants shall have passed all divisions of the ARE prepared and provided by NCARB, have completed the NCARB Architectural Experience Program, and have attained an NCARB council record. A completed NCARB council record shall be transmitted to and filed in the board office within three months of application. Upon receipt of the council record, the board shall provide the applicant with an application for licensure form. The board shall issue a license number to the applicant upon receipt of the completed application form and appropriate fee.

(5) The board may refuse to issue a certificate of licensure to any person otherwise qualified upon any of the grounds for which a license may be revoked or suspended or may otherwise discipline a licensee based upon a suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary action taken by a licensing authority in this or another jurisdiction. For purposes of this subrule, "disciplinary action" includes the voluntary surrender of a license to resolve a pending disciplinary investigation or proceeding. A certified copy of the record or order of suspension, revocation, voluntary surrender, or other disciplinary action is prima facie evidence of such fact.
