  2. Click on the "View and Submit Requirements" button.
  3. Select an aid year from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click on "Upload" next to the unsatisfied requirement.
  5. Click "Choose File" and browse to the file you wish to upload.
  6. Click the "Upload" button.
  7. Click "Submit."

 
Please allow two business days for the status of your document to reflect "pending" or "satisfied."
