Design and construction professionals can earn AIA Continuing Education learning units by reading designated articles and sponsored sections in Architectural Record and on this site, and answering test questions on the Continuing Education Reporting Form, or by selecting our online-based, self-serving interactive program, and submitting the forms for processing.
Important: AIA Members are limited to a maximum of 8 Architectural Record articles per year (January to December). AIA/CES Records will post the surplus articles to your record if you submit them, but they will not be added to your totals for the year. If you report more than 8 articles per year the excess credit cannot carry over to the following year.
In compliance with AIA Continuing Education guidelines
A separate Continuing Education Reporting Form must be completed for each continuing education article or section. The form may be accessed by clicking the link at the end of each article or completed online. The correct answers to the multiple choice test questions must be circled on the Reporting Form along with the applicant’s name, AIA number, and other contact information. A $10 processing fee payable by check or credit card must accompany each Continuing Education Reporting Form.
Reporting Forms will be mailed to the Architectural Record Continuing Education processing center address listed on the Reporting Form. All Continuing Education registrations will be forwarded to the AIA/CES records office at the University of Oklahoma for inclusion on AIA Continuing Education transcripts. (The date the AIA/CES records office ascribes to the LUs will be the last day of the month in which they receive notification from the provider that the LU credit has been earned.)
Certificates of completion: To comply with state licensing mandatory continuing education issues, RECORD has established a system to provide certificates of completion to participants who request this documentation on their reporting form. A passing score of 80% on the test answers is required for successful completion.
AIA/CES-approved magazine articles and sections that are more than two years old can only be self-reported as part of a self-designed research project, not for HSW credit. Contact the AIA records office in Oklahoma for self-reporting: 800-605-8229. Articles and sections published within two years of this issue must use the AIA/CES Reporting Form in those issues and/or follow the instructions on the Web site.
