An IDP eligibility date is determined based on your education or experience. To establish an IDP eligibility date on or after 1 October 2010, you must document one of the following:

1. Enrollment in a NAAB/CACB-accredited degree program
2. Enrollment in a pre-professional architecture degree program at a school that offers a NAAB/CACB-accredited degree program
3. Employment in work setting A after obtaining a U.S. high school diploma, General Education Degree (GED) equivalent, or comparable foreign degree
   

For experience earned on or after 1 October 2010, you may document your IDP eligibility date using one of the IDP eligibility date forms available on the Getting Started page.

Please refer to Appendix A of the IDP Guidelines to learn how to document an IDP eligibility date that is prior to 1 October 2010.

You only need to establish your IDP eligibility date once.
