N.Y. Education Law § 110: Refunds

§ 110. Refunds. 1. Moneys received by the state education department

pursuant to this chapter prior to July first, nineteen hundred

forty-two, may be refunded: (a) Where such moneys were not required by

law or regents' rule. (b) Where such moneys were in excess of the

amounts required by law or regents' rule. (c) Where fees are paid by

applicants who are not permitted to enter examinations for which such

fees are paid. Any such moneys received after July first, nineteen

hundred forty-two shall not be so refunded unless application for such

refund has been made within two years after its receipt by the state

education department, except that applicants for professional licenses

may make an application for a refund within two years of the withdrawal

or denial of the application, whichever occurs first.

2. Applicants for professional licenses not receiving such licenses

may be granted partial refunds not exceeding fifty percent of the fee

paid to the department unless they have failed the examinations for

such licenses, in which case such applicants may not receive a refund.

Each applicant for a professional license who has at any time received a

partial refund of an initial license application fee shall pay all

required fees upon submitting any subsequent application for initial

licensure.
