Quick-start guide

Complete verification in six steps

Finish every assigned task and submit the completed section for review.

  1. Open the requirement through myYC

    Begin from the verification requirement in your myYC financial-aid account. This connects you with the correct student record and award year.

  2. Register your account once

    The first time you enter the verification system, review the information shown, complete any missing fields, and select Register Account.

    Before registering: Confirm that your legal name, date of birth, and identifying information match the information submitted on your FAFSA.

  3. Review your assigned sections

    The portal overview lists the sections and tasks assigned to your file. Open each section and read all instructions before uploading documents.

    • Open every listed section.
    • Review each required form or document.
    • Confirm whether a contributor must participate.
    • Check deadlines and status messages.

  4. Complete forms and upload documents

    Some tasks require answers entered directly into the system. Others require a document upload.

    • Upload every page requested.
    • Make sure the document is readable and not cropped.
    • Use an accepted file format.
    • Do not upload password-protected files.
    • Review the file before attaching it.
    Using a phone: Place the document on a flat, well-lit surface. Photograph the full page directly from above and confirm that all text is sharp and readable.

  5. Complete required signatures

    Some forms require an electronic signature from the student, a parent, a spouse, or another FAFSA contributor.

    • Each signer must follow their own assigned instructions.
    • Do not sign on behalf of another person.
    • The system may require the signer to create or use a secure PIN.
    • Paper-signature options may be available when e-signing cannot be completed.

  6. Submit the completed section

    The submit button may remain unavailable until every required task in that section is complete.

    Before submitting, confirm that:

    • All questions have been answered.
    • Every required document is attached.
    • Required signatures are complete.
    • The information is accurate.

    Select Submit and continue monitoring the system, myYC, and your YC email for review updates.

The required form, document, or submission has not yet been received.

Incomplete

One or more required tasks, uploads, or signatures still need attention.

Submitted or in review

YC has received the submission and is reviewing the information.
