Second Notification: If the updated registration is not received, a follow-up email (to SUNY First Class account) will be sent 45 days prior to the provider registration expiration indicating that this is a second request. Tertiary and Final Notice: If no response is received to initial and second notices 21 days before registration expiration , a certified return receipt letter from the Chief of Staff will be mailed to the provider’s home.
