How your experience will roll over to experience setting S

A maximum of 1,860 elective hours may be earned through supplemental experience for elective hours.

• Experience earned through supplemental experience for core hours will not count toward the 1,860 maximum hours in experience setting S. It will count toward the related experience area.
• Hours earned in work setting E will be rolled over into design or construction related employment under supplemental experience for core hours, which has a maximum of 930 hours.
• Hours earned in work setting F and hours earned through supplementary education for elective hours will be rolled over into supplemental experience for elective hours, which has a maximum of 1,860 hours.
• Hours earned in work setting FF will be rolled over into Leadership and Service under supplemental experience for core hours, which has a maximum of 320 hours.
• Hours earned under supplementary education opportunities for core will be rolled over into the experience areas in which they were earned. Interns can earn a maximum of 600 hours through this option.

Work Setting E to Experience Setting S

Example: Ethan
Job: Assistant site coordinator at a construction company

Ethan has earned 800 hours in work setting E. Under the current program, he can earn a maximum of 936 hours in categories C and D. When IDP 2.0 is implemented, Ethan’s current experience will fall under experience setting S. The 800 hours he has earned so far will be rolled over into experience setting S where he can now earn a maximum of 930 hours in any relevant experience area.

In IDP 2.0, the core hours earned through supplemental experience are subject to the limitations associated with each opportunity—these hours are separate from the 1,860 elective hours an intern can earn through supplemental experience.

Work Setting F and Supplementary Education to Experience Setting S

Full-time teaching or research in a NAAB-accredited or CACB-accredited professional degree program. Work setting F is defined in the IDP Guidelines.

Example: Sally
Job: Assistant professor for a NAAB-accredited program

Sally teaches full time in a NAAB-accredited degree program, which is currently work setting F where she can earn a maximum of 1,960 training hours. Outside of teaching, she has been taking advantage of the supplementary education opportunities such as AIA continuing education and the Emerging Professional’s Companion (EPC) exercises. She has earned 1,200 hours of IDP credit through her teaching position and 150 hours through supplementary education for a total of 1,350 training hours.

In IDP 2.0, teaching or research in a NAAB- or CACB-accredited program is part of experience setting S. On 5 April 2012, Sally’s NCARB Record will reflect that she has earned 1,350 hours in experience setting S. Since the experience setting allows a maximum of 1,860 hours, Sally has the opportunity to earn 510 additional hours of IDP credit in her current experience setting.
