Submit to the 6 Month Rule

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Submit your work experience older than 6 months to your former or current supervisors before the 6 month rule takes effect. This is important to anyone planning on taking the architectural registration exam.

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has established the 6 month rule to the Intern Development Program (IDP) regarding experience. Essentially you have to report every 6 months of experience. There is a 2 month grace period to submit a 6 month working period, but explaining that right now muddles the simple July 1st deadline. Visit NCARB for a full description of the 6 month rule. The 6 month reporting rule takes effect July 1st, 2010. This Thursday. Tomorrow night at midnight.

In order to avoid losing prior experience time beyond 6 months fill out your experience periods on e-EVR (electronic experience verification report) and submit them to the appropriate supervisor before July 1st. The key is to click the “SUBMIT” button.

Once you click submit and get confirmation either from email or by talking to your former supervisor that they received the experience verification request, you can have the supervisor approve that experience period after July 1st when the demand on the e-EVR will have decreased.

Take care of this. Don’t wait. Submit.
