THIS IS NOT A RENEWAL NOTICE OR NOTIFCATION OF AUDIT
Hello,
This is a reminder that there is still time to complete this year’s Continuing Education (CE) requirements associated with your Colorado architect license. Colorado Statute and Board Rule state that all architects with an active license must complete at least 12 hours of CE during EACH calendar year (January 1st – December 31st). CE requirements for the current license year must be completed by December 31, 2025.
- Though 24 hours of CE are required for the full two-year license period, no more than 12 hours will be accepted by the Board during a single year of licensure.
- If you were licensed during the current license period (November 1, 2023 – October 31, 2025), please review the Continuing Education Rule Chart for your required number of CE hours.
To qualify for credit, the CE hours must:
- be a structured, educational activity
- be in a Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) subject
- include a form that demonstrates whether the architect obtained the CE hours, such as a certificate of completion or a transcript
