Self-Reporting CE

Continuing Education

AIA Member CE & Self-Reporting

Learn when AIA members may self-report continuing education, how to submit a self-report and how AIA requirements differ from Florida architecture license requirements.

Important

AIA members may self-report certain learning activities for AIA Learning Unit (LU) credit. However, HSW credit cannot be self-reported, and the State of Florida does not accept self-designed or self-reported documentation for Florida architecture license renewal.

When Should I Self-Report?

01

Non-AIA Provider Course

Self-report when you attend an educational program offered by a provider that is not an AIA Continuing Education provider and the activity otherwise qualifies for AIA Learning Unit credit.

02

Independent Study

Certain professional studies, research, reading, educational media or other qualifying learning activities may be eligible for self-reported LU credit.

03

Research, Teaching or Writing

Professional research, teaching or writing related to architecture may qualify when the activity meets AIA learning requirements.

04

Other Professional Learning

Qualifying volunteer activities related to the profession or a self-guided educational walking tour may also be appropriate for self-reporting.

How to Submit a Self-Report

Start at AIA.org

Log In to Your AIA Account

Visit AIA.org and log in to your account. From My Account, select Profile to begin accessing your continuing education information.

01

Once logged in, select My Account and then Profile.

03

06

Submit for Review

Review the information you entered and submit your self-report to AIA.

After You Submit

Each self-report is reviewed after submission. Review may take up to 10 business days. If approved, the activity is added to your AIA continuing education transcript.

HSW Cannot Be Self-Reported

Know the Difference

Self-Reporting Is Limited to LU Credit

AIA members may only self-report qualifying activities for Learning Unit (LU) credit.

Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) credit must be reported to AIA by an approved continuing education provider.

Self-designed and self-reported activities are also not accepted by the State of Florida as documentation for Florida architecture license renewal.

Understanding Self-Reported Learning

Type 1

Self-Designed Activity

A self-designed activity is learning organized by the member to meet an individual educational need. It may involve research, reading, interviewing subject experts, listening to educational material or viewing videos.

Self-designed learning is not eligible for AIA HSW credit.

Ask Yourself:

Is this a planned learning activity?

Is the activity intended to be educational?

Am I acquiring or sharing professional knowledge?

How will I apply what I learned to my practice?

Type 2

Structured Self-Reported Program

A structured self-reported program is an organized educational activity offered by a third-party provider that is not an AIA Continuing Education provider.

Documentation of participation or attendance may be required. Members are responsible for maintaining any supporting documentation needed for another licensing jurisdiction or audit.

AIA cannot obtain supporting documentation from a non-AIA provider on the member's behalf.

AIA CE and Florida License CE Are Different Systems

AIA Membership

AIA Continuing Education

Certain qualifying educational activities may be self-reported for AIA LU credit through your AIA account. HSW credit must be reported by an approved AIA continuing education provider.

Florida Licensure

Florida Continuing Education

Florida has separate continuing education requirements for architecture license renewal. Self-designed or self-reported activities should not be relied upon to satisfy Florida licensure requirements.
