Verify My Application

With Verify My Application, you will be able to:

  • Complete financial aid forms on your phone, tablet, or computer
  • Securely upload documents from any device
  • E-sign documents – both you and your parents!
  • Manage your financial aid tasks online
  • Receive automated reminders about outstanding tasks and document review 

How will I know if I have requirements to complete with Verify My Application?

You will receive a Financial Aid Requirements email notification (sent to your college Zonemail), with instructions to log in to CLASS-Web to review and complete your unsatisfied financial aid requirements. 

If you have a Verify My Application unsatisfied requirement, you will need to complete the verification tasks that need to be completed through the Verify My Application process. You will need to sign on and register your account in order to review and complete your online verification tasks. Upon account registration, you will begin to receive automated reminders (via Zonemail) about your outstanding tasks and/or the review status of your submitted verification documents Noreply@cn33.net.

Helpful Tips:

  • Only the parent that you send the request to, will be able to create an account and E-Sign documents.
  • The parent you select must have passed the SSN match on your FAFSA, or you won’t be able to send that parent a request.
  • If neither parent passed the SSN match, you will not be able to use E-Sign. 
  • The parent’s email address cannot match the student’s.

Once your request is sent, your parent will receive an email containing a link to create an account.

Once your request is sent to your parent, you can no longer edit your document unless you cancel the request. To cancel, select the cancel request button. If you need to edit your request, select the edit request button. Please Note: If you cancel the request, your parent will not be able to create an account or be able to see the document to e-sign until you send the request again.
