Consents and Organizational Filings

Newly Formed Organizations or Applications for Authority

Educational specific purposes and applicable disclaimers should be included within the corporation or company document for a new formation (Certificate of Incorporation/Articles of Organization), an Application for Authority, or a Certificate of Amendment. Specific purposes are what the entity wants to pursue or do in the State of New York.

The purposes should be specific enough for us to determine the type of training you intend to provide. Disclaimers can be found on the following link and should also be included within the purpose paragraph of your document and before the signature line. You may wish to visit Frequently Asked Questions | Office of Counsel for additional guidance on how to add purposes or disclaimers to your document.

Sample incorporation forms can be found at the New York State Department of State’s website.

Prior to filing your corporate/company proposed document with the New York State Department of State please obtain New York State Education Department Commissioner’s consent.

The consent form(s) can be located at Commissioner's Consents/Regents’ Authorization | Office of Counsel. The type of consent should correspond to or match the type of corporate document that you will eventually file with New York State Department of State once the consent is obtained.

Existing Corporations Needing an Amendment

If you have already filed your incorporation document with the New York State Department of State without the Commissioner’s consent, the entity can submit to the New York State Education Department a proposed Certificate of Amendment to add educational purposes, make a revision to a paragraph in the originally filed document, and/or add disclaimers and seek Commissioner’s consent to that proposed document.
