Sharing MySlice Access with Parents, Guardians, or Family Members

MySlice post Sept. 27th Upgrade

MySlice was recently upgrade over the weekend of September 25-26th. At the same time as the upgrade, MySlice’s security was enhanced with Microsoft Two-Factor Authentication (also known as multi-factor authentication or MFA) for all student, staff, and faculty accounts. Parent/Proxy accounts remained the same after the upgrade.

As a result of this upgrade, you might need to clear your browsers cache and cookies before you are able to access the site.

The refreshed, tile-based MySlice will feature increased mobile compatibility, accessibility and personalization. You can find information about the enhanced navigation and user experience, including screenshots, on the MySlice Upgrade Answers page.

Students may share specific sections of their MySlice account with a parent, guardian, and/or family member, granting them access to areas such as your Financial Aid Portfolio and your Student Account.

You can create up to three (3) accounts for various individuals with different levels of access. These settings must be managed from the student MySlice account after logging in at https://myslice.syr.edu/

IMPORTANT NOTE: ITS representatives cannot reset parent/proxy account passwords. All password management is done via the student MySlice account.

After a shared access account has been created, you may edit any of the user's information, including which sections are shared, but excluding the account name. An account can be deleted at any time, and up to three (3) accounts can be created.

The parent, guardian, or family member will receive an email informing them that an account has been created, and the account username will be provided in this email. However, the password must be obtained from the student or applicant that created the account. The parent or guardian may now access and use the specific sections that were selected by navigating to https://myslice.syr.edu/ and then entering the username and password for the shared access account.
