Petition
for: Waiver of
Summary
Statement: The petitioner listed below is a
graduate of a professionally accredited architecture program who has applied for
licensure in
Prior to 1983, certain states did not require the Equivalency Examination
(EE) or the Qualifying Test (QT) if a candidate had a degree from an accredited
architecture program, and granted licensure upon passage of the Professional
Examination (PE). Prior to 1975,
most states recognized the Examination Syllabus (ES). The petitioner passed either the
national Professional Examination (PE) given prior to 1983, or portions of the
national Examination Syllabus (ES) given prior to 1975. Prior to 1983,
Section 7304(4) of Education Law and Section 69.3 of the Commissioner’s
Regulations require for endorsement that “… an architect licensed in another
state or jurisdiction as the result of successful completion of only the
professional examination in use before 1983 may be granted licensure upon
presentation of evidence of two years of work experience of a grade and
character satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture and passage of a
practical examination satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture
…”
The Department has no documentation of professional disciplinary actions
against the petitioner.
The petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his initial state
of licensure and has extensive professional practice since his licensure in
