a. An applicant’s conviction for commission of a felony, but only if the felony relates directly to the practice of architecture or to the applicant’s honesty.

c. An applicant’s violation of a rule of conduct of a jurisdiction in which the applicant has previously engaged in the practice of architecture, provided that the rule of conduct violated is substantially equivalent to a then existing or current rule of conduct required of architects in this state.
d. An applicant’s practice of architecture without being licensed in violation of licensure laws of the jurisdiction in which the practice took place.
