It’s not just registering but reporting time as well. We call it the procrastinators rule. I thought NY was one of the few states that didn't require IDP.

wow. you just saved 3 years of my very hard work. I owe you one, and chance.

I just spent the past few weekends logging all my hours so that I wouldn't loose them. That said, as I understand the rule, if you register by tomorrow, you get another year to log hours before the 6 month rule applies to you. Am I misreading this? Also, does anyone else think that the NCARB website is unnecessarily confusing and hard to navigate?

Yes. As long as you receive a record number (account number), which you get when you pay $285, you have a year to log your hours. I called and waited in line for an hour to talk to someone today.

Pain in the ass.

Nick, I think all architecture-related websites are impossible to navigate!

;-)

Props for even getting through to a real human.

no one in my office has ever succeeded in getting a NCARB rep. on the line. their online contact offerings are also pretty worthless. I guess this is all part of the "process", huh?

geez, freaking beurocrats. i only know about greenbuilding and not about "architecture" but anybody that harsh that you loose all your hard worked hours if you dont register with then online has a stick upm their wazoo

Good to see this kind of crap happens elsewhere too. It must be all architecture registration boards across the world that like to make life hard !
