Provisional & Absolute Charter Summaries
Provisional Charter: Temporary, probationary status for new education corporations working toward meeting full Regents standards.
Absolute Charter: Permanent status granted after demonstrating full compliance, stability, and achievement of educational goals.
This two-step chartering system encourages growth and development while maintaining high educational and organizational standards in New York’s specialized education corporations.
For official details and petitions, reference the NYS Education Law §217 and the Board of Regents’ Office of Counsel.
Key Points
- The Board of Regents issues either a “charter” or a “certificate of incorporation,” forming a nonprofit education corporation.
- Educational organizations are governed as education corporations rather than typical nonprofit corporations in NYS.
- Libraries and historical societies are treated as educational entities, not just nonprofits, and must charter through the Board of Regents.
- Application petitions and supporting documents are filed with the NYS Education Department—not the Secretary of State.
Museums and archives with significant collections require a Board of Regents charter.
