An AAP proposal may be submitted for pre-approval either before or after project registration.

• A. Not specified
• B. Only before registration
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (D)

An Alternative Adherence Path (AAP) can be pursued through pre-approval at multiple points in the WELL process. You may submit the AAP proposal for pre-approval before you register the project to lock in an alternative approach early, or you can submit after registration if the team decides to pursue or revise an alternative path during design. Obtaining pre-approval confirms that the proposed deviation meets the WELL intent and can be credited if it complies during verification, giving flexibility to accommodate design realities without sacrificing certification. Therefore, the statement is accurate: pre-approval for an AAP can occur either before or after project registration.
