This process determines whether there is a reasonable ownership connection between the organization listed in WhoIs and the organization requesting the domain for certificate issuance.

IMPORTANT: You should be sure to not only submit your base domain (e.g. campus.edu), but you should also submit the wildcard of your base domain (e.g. *.campus.edu).
