4. At this point a screen will PLNU Web Access Management Login screen will appear. 
5. Enter your first and last name (with a space between) in the first box
6. Enter your 8-digit PLNU ID number in the second box.  (This 8-digit number is on the bottom of your ID card, by the barcode.  It is actually your regular 6-digit ID number plus two numbers on the end.  Your first ID card has a 10 on the end, and it goes up from there.  If you've never received an ID card, try 09.)
7. Click on the Submit button.  This should take you to the database.
