  4. A CAADC holder who allows their credential to lapse and wishes to reinstate it typically must:

  7. Which scenario would most likely result in IC&RC sanctioning a CAADC credential holder?

    Answer: Violating the IC&RC Code of Ethics and receiving a sustained complaint ruling

    A sustained ethics complaint against a CAADC holder can trigger IC&RC or member board sanctions including suspension or revocation of the credential.
