(A) For purposes of this rule, "person" shall have the same meaning as in division (T) of section 4701.01 of the Revised Code.

(B) All official communications from the board are sent to a person's last physical or electronic address of record as maintained by the board. If the communication is not returned to the board, the person will be considered by the board to have received such official communications, to be aware of the contents of such official communications, and to be responsible for any actions required of them by such official communications. If a person notifies the board in writing of a failure to receive the official communication, the board will resend the official communication to the person. The board will not extend any deadlines nor abate any penalties unless it feels appropriate circumstances exist.

(C) Any change in a person's name, primary phone number, email, or physical address must be submitted to the board in writing.
