    (225 ILCS 305/13) (from Ch. 111, par. 1313)
    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-1044)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)
    Sec. 13. Qualifications of applicants.

Any person who is of good
moral character may apply for licensure if he
or she
is
a graduate with a first professional degree in architecture from a program
accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, has completed the
examination requirements set forth under Section 12, and has
completed such diversified professional training, including academic
training, as is required by rules of the Department.  The
Department may adopt, as its own rules relating to diversified professional
training, those guidelines published from time to time by the National
Council of Architectural Registration Boards.

Good moral character means such character as will enable a person to
discharge the duties of an architect to that person's client and
to the public in a manner that protects health, safety,  and welfare.  Evidence
of inability to discharge such duties may include the commission of an
offense justifying discipline under Section 22.  In addition, the
Department may take into consideration whether the applicant has engaged in
conduct or actions that would constitute grounds for discipline under this
Act.
