ARCHITECTURE
Petition
for: Waiver of New York State requirements pertaining to
acceptability of licensing examinations for licensure by
endorsement.
Summary
Statement: The petitioners listed below are all
graduates of professionally accredited architecture programs who have applied
for licensure in New
York. All
have achieved, at a minimum, a Bachelor of Architecture degree. All petitioners have substantial
documented licensed experience in other states.
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 petitioners 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, New York State required passage of the Equivalency
Examination (EE), or passage of the Qualifying Test (QT) in addition to passage
of the national Professional Examination.
Each of the petitioners satisfied the examination requirement in his/her
initial state of licensure by passing an acceptable licensing examination and
attained licensure in that state.
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 petitioners.
Each petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial
state of licensure and has extensive professional practice starting prior to
1983. Since the above information
illustrates evidence of competence within the profession, and in lieu of the
practical examination, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for
Architecture recommends that the examination requirement be considered satisfied
and each applicant’s licensure in another state be accepted for endorsement in
New York State.
