Important: All Architectural Record articles and presentation courses may count towards the AIA continuing education requirement. All active registered architect AIA members may complete their annually required Continuing Education Credits through Architectural Record. This includes all 18 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) each year. Of the 18 CEHs, 12 hours must address health, safety, and welfare (HSW).

AIA Credit Reporting
Depending on when you take a course online in Architectural Record's Continuing Education Center, it can take between 1 to 2 weeks for your credits to appear on your AIA member transcript. For example, if you take a course on a Monday, your credits will appear on your transcript by Thursday of the following week. Please check your transcript regularly for updates.
GBCI Credit Reporting
GBCI Credential Maintenance Program participants must self-report their GBCI CE hours through “My Credentials” at www.gbci.org. Keep a copy of your certificate of completion for your records.
