Applications.
(1) All applications submitted to the
					 commissioner on or after September 1, 2009 for certificates issued pursuant to
					 the provisions of this Part shall remain in active status for three years from
					 the date of receipt of such application. If the candidate fails to complete all
					 requirements for such certification within three years from the date of receipt
					 of such application, the application shall be deemed denied by the
					 commissioner, except the commissioner may extend the time validity of an active
					 application beyond the three years provided for in this section, for
					 individuals called to active duty with the Armed Forces for the time of active
					 service and an additional 12 months after the end of such service, upon
					 application for such an extension. If the candidate subsequently wishes to
					 re-apply for such certification, the candidate shall submit to the commissioner
					 a new application with the required documentation and the appropriate fee
					 prescribed under section 3006  of the Education Law.
(2) All applications submitted to the
					 commissioner after September 1, 2009 for certificates in the classroom teaching
					 service, school leadership or pupil personnel through individual evaluation or
					 reciprocity under this Part shall include a transcript from each institution of
					 higher education that the candidate attended. Upon receipt of such application,
					 the commissioner shall provide a written or electronic evaluation to the
					 candidate of his/her credentials and shall notify the candidate, in writing or
					 electronically, if there are any remaining deficiencies in the candidate's
					 application for certification through individual evaluation or reciprocity. If
					 the candidate fails to satisfy any remaining deficiencies in his/her
					 application within three years from the date of receipt of such application,
					 the application shall be deemed denied by the commissioner, except that the
					 commissioner may extend the time validity of an active application beyond the
					 three years provided for in this section for individuals called to active duty
					 with the Armed Forces for the time of active service and an additional 12
					 months after the end of such service, upon application for such an extension.
					 An application shall also be denied by the commissioner if the candidate
					 submits additional documentation to correct any deficiencies in his/her
					 application after the first evaluation and a second evaluation reveals that the
					 application together with the additional documentation continues to be
					 deficient and fails to meet the requirements for certification, as prescribed
					 in this Part. If the candidate subsequently wishes to re-apply for such
					 certification, the candidate shall submit to the commissioner a new application
					 with any required documentation to satisfy any remaining deficiencies in such
					 application and the appropriate fee as prescribed under section 3006  of the Education Law.
