A registration not renewed within 60 days after August 31 expiration is treated as an initial registration (examination may be required). The Board may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew the registration of an architect who fails to comply with CE (231 CMR 3.05(5)); falsification of CE reports is grounds for discipline.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Architects attest under pains and penalties of perjury; on written request the architect must furnish information on any CE activity, and failure to provide timely proof is grounds for discipline including refusal to renew. If the Board disallows hours, the architect has 60 days to substantiate or remedy (remedy hours may not be used for another year).
