CE events’ credits Sign in and request a certificate of attendance every time you attend a CE-qualifying event. Sign in with your AIA number at all CE events to be sure credits are recorded.
Audits Send your certificates of attendance from any BSA events to the BSA. We will verify and return them so you can forward your completed records to the state licensing board. If you are audited, print and send your transcript to the state licensing board with a copy of your AIA membership card.

Architects who are not AIA members must meet state continuing-education credit requirements. AIA architects must meet AIA/CES requirements. If these credits are completed between September and August, members can fulfill MA requirements as well.
