Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 30 - Professions and Occupations › Part 201 - Mississippi State Board of Architecture › Chapter 2 - Registration Requirements › Rule 30-201-2.3 - Renewal and Reinstatement

Current through June 25, 2024
2.3.1 Certificates
				of registration shall be renewed on or before November 30, in odd numbered
				years. A renewal form will be mailed to each registered architect who holds a
				current license in good standing. Those licenses not renewed prior to the
				November 30 deadline may be late renewed within two years after the license
				expiration date by paying the monthly late penalty prescribed in Rule
				2.4, in addition to the biennial
				renewal fee.
2.3.2 Licenses not
				renewed prior to the end of the two-year penalty period shall not be subject to
				renewal, but may be reinstated. Any consideration for reinstatement of the
				expired license after the two-year penalty period would be at the discretion of
				the Board and requires the following:
A.
				submission of a reinstatement application and payment of the reinstatement fee
				prescribed in Rule
				2.4; and
B. submission of additional information to
				properly evaluate the applicant's current qualification for reinstatement,
				including a complete resume' of the applicant's professional activity since the
				expiration of the applicant's license; and
C. certification that the applicant has
				complied with the mandatory continuing education requirements outlined in
				Chapter 6, having earned twelve (12) CEH's per calendar year in the two (2)
				calendar year's preceding the application for reinstatement. As an alternative
				to receiving twelve (12) CEH's per calendar year, the Board will accept
				twenty-four (24) CEH's in the two (2) years immediately preceding the
				application for reinstatement, provided that such CEH's are otherwise in
				compliance with Chapter 6.
Neither the failure of the Board to send nor the failure of
				  the registrant to receive a renewal form shall excuse failure to renew a
				  license. Unless the license is renewed on or before November 30, of odd
				  numbered years, continued practice after such date shall constitute unlawful
				  practice and is grounds for discipline.

Current through June 25, 2024
Continuing Education (CE) is post-licensure learning that
				  enables a registered architect to increase or update knowledge of and
				  competence in technical and professional subjects related to the practice of
				  architecture to safeguard the public's health, safety, and welfare. Each
				  registrant shall be required to meet the continuing education requirements of
				  these guidelines. These guidelines provide for a mandatory continuing education
				  program to insure that registered architects remain informed of those technical
				  and professional subjects the Board deems appropriate to safeguard life, health
				  and promote the public welfare.

A Continuing Education Hour (CEH) is one continuous

				  such an activity, then such prescribed time shall, unless the Board finds the
				  prescribed time to be unreasonable, be accepted as the architect's time for
				  Continuing Education Hour purposes irrespective of actual time spent on the
				  activity.
Each Mississippi registered architect shall complete a
				  minimum twelve (12) CEHs per calendar year, which shall total twenty-four (24)
				  CEHs to be reported with each biennial (every two (2) years) renewal. All CEHs
				  must be in structured continuing education activities as defined in Rule
				  6.4, and shall be in health, safety
