not clear, you can view “Need to
Submit” documents by logging
into your MyCollege Account. Look
under the "Communication
Section" view "My Documents”.
Step 3:
If my Document
Tracking Email says
that I have been
selected for
Verification, what
does that mean?

"My Documents" under the
"Communication" section under your
MyCollege account. Write down what you
are missing. Still logged into MyCollege

emails saying I am missing
paperwork or when I look under
"My Documents" it still states that
I need to submit something.
Once you have submitted forms,
allow 7-10 business days for

business days maybe needed.

already done so.

awarded, what do I
do next?
