Congratulations!! I get an email from them, they Issued a Provisional Status Letter (Academic Certification)for 18 months until I complete one course,I guess is better than nothing, but I'm planning to appeal the decision because I'm part of the CANBERRA agreement and I took this course in my university, may I ask how did you get yours?
Hi, maybe i am a little bit late. May i ask if you have fulfilled the 160 credit hours for your education? My degree and master are both under CANBERRA accord. But i roughly calculated that my hours is less than 160. (given that studio hours could only calculated as half...)

Do you mind providing my information of your education background as a reference. Thanks a lot!

Did you successfully appealed? Does your education fulfilled 160 credit hours as required by CACB? Thanks

URGENT! The CACB requirements contain this:
(vi) Official University Calendar describing the professional program in architecture undertaken by the applicant or equivalent documentation (course syllabus). It is very important that the university calendar be for the years you were attending the university and that it contains:
the description of the content of every individual courses;
the number of hours of lectures and the number of hours of studio spent on each course;
the number of terms in an academic year;
the number of weeks of studies per term.


Is this supposed to mean what we call the Curriculum i.e. the list of courses each student must pass to receive the architecture degree? What should I do if my university doesn't have this as an 'Official University Calendar'?

My university has this webpage for example: https://archweb.metu.edu.tr/en/bachelor-architecture
This contains links to each course description, for example: https://catalog.metu.edu.tr/course.php?course_code=1200201

Another issue is that when I graduated 6 years ago, I hadn't taken these exact courses in the webpage, since courses may have been added/removed/name changed.

Would it work if i made this calendar myself for the curriculum of my time, and had it stamped by the university? In that case, is there a particular format? I'd really appreciate any help from anyone who faced the same problem of not having an Official University Calendar.

Hi, did you hear anything about the course calendar or anything else?

Hi all, I’m applying for Cacb and I have done my masters. So do I need to put my master’s academics in the portfolio or bachelors?

Are you applying for certification of a bachelor's professional degree? If yes, and you are including master's degree courses in the evaluation then I think you can include both master's and bachelor's in your portfolio with each clearly identified.

I don’t know , I mean I have selected masters in the Cacb form. But even if so, do I need to include bachelors academic projects?

You can email them for clarification. In m experience, they are pretty good at providing clear responses. My thought is that if you include a bachelor's course for evaluation as well along with a master's then include it in the portfolio, if not then I do not see a point in including it.

How do I add two courses? Because it just allows you to add one degree, be it masters or bachelors.

You need to select the professional degree that is considered an academic requirement for professional registration in your country. For example, In India, a 5-year B.Arch degree is required for registration. You may include a master's program as part of the application and add master's courses to the online application. You will need to provide a transcript, a certified copy of the degree and course descriptions for both degrees.

The requirements has a 4 page report in which you have to write about the projects. Do We have to mention literally the site area and location and stuff ?
