New York Laws
Part 1 - General Provisions
110 - Refunds.

ยง 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.
