Enrollment Agreement

The enrollment agreement is the contract signed between the student and the institution. The agreement specifies the conditions under which the school will provide instruction to the student.  It also specifies all costs a student must pay in order to enroll in a specific school program.  A copy of the completed enrollment agreement must be given to the student upon enrollment.

In order to assist schools in developing enrollment agreements that comply with the requirements of the Education Law and the Commissioner's Regulations, the Department has developed a sample enrollment agreement. This enrollment agreement meets all of the requirements set forth in law and regulations. In using this form, a school must modify the information printed in italics, tailoring it to include its own school and program information. Regardless of whether the sample enrollment agreement is used, schools must still send two copies of each enrollment agreement to the Department for approval prior to use.

When languages other than English are used in the sales presentation, the modified sample enrollment agreement may be translated into the language of the sales presentation. In submitting such enrollment agreements for approval, the school must include a literal English translation of the foreign language enrollment agreement as well as a notarized attestation from the translator affirming the accuracy of the translation.

If you have specific questions, contact the Education Team liaison to whom you are assigned when you file your school application and fee.
