ARCHITECTURE
Petition for: Waiver of New York State requirements pertaining to acceptability of licensing examinations for licensure by endorsement.
Summary Statement: The petitioners listed below are all graduates of professionally accredited architecture programs who have applied for licensure in New York. All have achieved, at a minimum, a Bachelor of Architecture degree. All petitioners have substantial documented licensed experience in other states.
Prior to 1983, certain states did not require the Equivalency Examination (EE) or the Qualifying Test (QT) if a candidate had a degree from an accredited architecture program, and granted licensure upon passage of the Professional Examination (PE). Prior to 1975, most states recognized the Examination Syllabus (ES). The petitioners passed either the national Professional Examination (PE) given prior to 1983, or portions of the national Examination Syllabus (ES) given prior to 1975. Prior to 1983, New York State required passage of the Equivalency Examination (EE), or passage of the Qualifying Test (QT) in addition to passage of the national Professional Examination. Each of the petitioners satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial state of licensure by passing an acceptable licensing examination and attained licensure in that state.
Section 7304(4) of Education Law and Section 69.3 of the Commissioner’s Regulations require for endorsement that “… an architect licensed in another state or jurisdiction as the result of successful completion of only the professional examination in use before 1983 may be granted licensure upon presentation of evidence of two years of work experience of a grade and character satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture and passage of a practical examination satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture …”
Each petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial state of licensure and has extensive professional practice satisfactory to the State Board. Since the above information illustrates evidence of competence within the profession, and in lieu of the practical examination, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Architecture recommends that the examination requirement be considered satisfied and each applicant’s licensure in another state be accepted for endorsement in New York State.

Petition for: Three-year limited license to practice veterinary technology under Section 6711(6) of the Education Law.
Statement of Problem: The applicant listed below has met the education and examination requirements for licensure as veterinary technicians in New York State. The only requirement for full licensure that cannot be satisfied at this time is United States citizenship or immigration status as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States.
The applicant also has a pending application for full veterinary technology licensure, which cannot be granted until he/she satisfies the citizenship or permanent residency requirement.
Applicable Guidelines: Section 6711(6) of Education Law relates to the requirement of United States citizenship or permanent resident status for licensure as a veterinary technician in New York State and allows the Board of Regents to grant a one-time three-year waiver (plus an extension of not more than one year) for an alien veterinary technician to practice in New York State if all other licensure requirements are satisfied.
