An applicant for registration by examination shall submit an application to NCARB as provided in the Exam Eligibility Services Agreement with NCARB. The Board shall set qualifications and review, or cause to be reviewed, each candidate's qualifications. Proof of qualifications shall be required prior to allowing candidates to sit for the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®). NCARB may approve an applicant to take the ARE® only after the applicant has enrolled in AXP and completed the Board's education requirements for architectural registration by examination in Alabama. Upon determination that the applicant is qualified in accordance with the Board’s statutes and regulations, the applicant may be granted eligibility for the examination.
