Preparing content
It’s common to be unsure where you stand — the process can be hard to follow. The single most useful thing you can do is ask AccessOAP, in writing, to confirm your registration status, your registration date, and what your next step is. A written answer turns uncertainty into a record you can build on. Once you know your status, the rest of the Navigator adapts to it.
