IDP Six Month Rule is less than three weeks away

The IDP Six Month Rule is less than three weeks away! Interns, open your NCARB record now to get extra time to report hours.
https://www.ncarb.org/RecordApp/recordsvc/login.aspx

The Six-Month Rule requires interns to submit their training units in reporting periods of no longer than six months and within two months of completion of each reporting period. The rule will go into effect on 1 July 2009 for interns who begin an NCARB Record on or after that date and 1 July 2010 for all interns regardless of application date. All training unit reports must be submitted electronically through NCARB’s electronic Experience Verification Reporting (e-EVR) system.

The Six-Month Rule only applies to interns. It does not apply to registered architects that must document past experience for NCARB certification.

Six-Month Rule Implementation Timeline

31 December 2008 – Launch of online reporting system for IDP training units.

1 July 2009 – Six-Month Rule goes into effect for interns who begin an NCARB Record on or after this date.

1 July 2010 – Six-Month Rule goes into effect for all interns regardless of when they started their NCARB Record.

Available Extensions – Similar to the NCARB’s ARE Rolling Clock, the Six-Month Rule will have extensions available for:

Birth or adoption of a child (six months)
Serious medical conditions
Active military service

Extensions will require documentation. The procedures for applying for an extension will be available when the Six-Month Rule goes into effect.
