	 2.3(1) To be admitted to the examination, an applicant for registration shall have completed the eligibility requirements of the education standards for NCARB certification which include a professional degree from a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) or the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) and shall be enrolled in the NCARB Intern Development Program. NCARB shall notify the testing service of the applicant’s eligibility prior to the applicant’s scheduling of an examination.
	 2.3(2) Documentation of IDP training units shall be submitted on IDP report forms, published by NCARB, verified by signatures of registered architects serving as (1) the intern architect’s supervisor in accordance with the requirements outlined in the NCARB Handbook for Interns and Architects, and (2) the intern architect’s mentor, usually outside the intern’s firm, with whom the intern has met for guidance and evaluation of the intern’s progress in the IDP. The completed IDP report form shall demonstrate attainment of an aggregate of the minimum number of value units in each training area and shall be submitted to NCARB for evaluation.
	 2.3(3) All eligibility requirements shall have been verified and satisfied in accordance with the NCARB Handbook for Interns and Architects. The Handbook is available through NCARB, the architectural examining board or the state law library.
	 2.3(4) Applicants who have previously passed any portion of formerly required NCARB examinations will be granted credit for those portions passed in accordance with procedures established by NCARB. Applicants who have passed one or more but not all divisions of the ARE by January 1, 2006, shall have five years to pass all remaining divisions. A passing grade for any remaining division shall be valid for five years, after which time the division must be retaken if all remaining divisions have not been passed. The rolling five-year period shall commence after January 1, 2006, on the date when the first division that has been passed is administered. Applicants who have passed no divisions of the ARE by January 1, 2006, shall be governed by the above rolling five-year requirement. The rolling five-year period shall commence on the date when the first division that has been passed is administered.
	 2.3(5) To be eligible for registration, all applicants shall have passed all divisions of the ARE prepared and provided by NCARB, have completed the NCARB Intern Development Program, and have attained an NCARB council record. A completed NCARB council record shall be transmitted to and filed in the board office. Upon receipt of the council record, the board shall provide the applicant with an application for registration form. The board shall issue a registration number to the applicant upon receipt of the completed application form and appropriate fee.
	 2.3(6) The board may refuse to issue a certificate of registration to any person otherwise qualified upon any of the grounds for which a registration may be revoked or suspended or may otherwise discipline a registrant based upon a suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary action taken by a licensing authority in this or another jurisdiction. For purposes of this subrule, “disciplinary action” includes the voluntary surrender of a registration to resolve a pending disciplinary investigation or proceeding. A certified copy of the record or order of suspension, revocation, voluntary surrender, or other disciplinary action is prima facie evidence of such fact.
