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.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY
05-02-07
Christine
Carmel Dayao Phillips
Honolulu,
Hawaii 96813
(University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bachelor of Science in Economics, May 2000)
Petition
for:
Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy
Examination.
Statement
of Problem:
Ms. Phillips applied for licensure and admission to the Uniform CPA Examination
in 2000. Her education at the
University of Pennsylvania satisfied all the educational requirements for
licensure.
Commissioner's Regulations require that an applicant must pass all parts
of the Uniform CPA examination within 36 months. Ms. Phillips originally received
conditional credit on the Auditing (AUD) and Law and Professional Responsibility
(LPR) sections of the examination in May 2001. She passed the Financial Accounting and
Reporting (FARE) section in May 2002.
To retain credit for these sections, Ms. Phillips needed to pass the
Accounting and Reporting (ARE) section by May 2004. When the examination converted
from paper and pencil administration to computerized administration in Spring
2004, the Regulation (REG) section of the computerized examination replaced the
ARE section.
Ms. Phillips scheduled the REG section on May 13, 2004. The Prometric Examination Center
experienced technical difficulties on that date and could not administer the
examination to her. Because of the
technical difficulties, Ms. Phillips was granted a free retest of the REG
section. In October 2004, Ms.
Phillips passed the REG section of the examination, five months past the 36
months allowed by Regulations. Ms.
Phillips asks that her passing scores be accepted as the equivalent of passing
scores earned within the 36 months allowed in Regulations. Based on the unusual circumstances
caused by the transition to computer-based testing and the technical
difficulties that prevented her timely completion of the last subtest, the
Executive Secretary of the State Board for Accountancy supports her
request.
|
