Rolling Clock Extension

The following is an excerpt from the NCARB 2010-2011 Handbook for Interns and Architects, Chapter 5. Please contact NCARB with further questions.   

NCARB may allow a reasonable extension of such period in circumstances where completion of all divisions within such five-year period is prevented by the birth or adoption of a child, by a serious medical condition, by active duty in military service, or by other like causes. An applicant may request such an extension by submitting a timely written application and supporting documentation as prescribed by NCARB. Upon proper application NCARB will allow parents of newborn infants or newly adopted children a six-month extension to the end of such five-year period if the birth or adoption of their child occurs within such five-year period.   

Key Points:

• A request for a Rolling Clock extension must be submitted by the candidate directly to NCARB.    
• The request for a Rolling Clock extension must be received by NCARB, including all appropriate documentation, before a candidate's current NCARB Rolling Clock end date.   
• Each applicant must include a completed Rolling Clock Extension Request Form and all relevant and required supporting documentation.
