Note for Illinois architects: As of December 1, 2004, Illinois architects were required to have taken at least 24 hours of qualifying continuing education units during the period Dec. 1, 2002 to Nov. 30, 2004. A number of architects have failed to comply with this requirement and face disciplinary action. We have been advised that the State may grant these architects one additional chance to catch up on this requirement. Check the DPR website to see if you are currently qualified to practice architecture at http://www.ildpr.com/licenselookup/default.asp If you find that you are listed as "non-renewed", you should take immediate action. We have the following to help these architects comply with State law: a 2-DVD video set entitled Understanding the B141, allowing you to obtain 9 hours of HSW/CEU. See the information on the left side of this page for more information. Of course, this video program can be taken by anyone who would like to become more familiar with the most important Owner-Architect Agreement in current use, and will count for CEU credits whenever AIA provider credits are needed.
