2. Click the Submit button.

3. If the username and password were correct, users will be directed to the Manage Your SAP Referral page.

4. If this is your first time logging in, the user will be directed to a page where you will need to accept the user license agreement. The user will then be required to change their password to a password of their choice. Hit ENTER and your screen should look like this for a staff referral (SAP coordinator page will look different and we will get to that soon).
