To link with Syracuse University identity a personal GitHub account is needed.  If you do not have a personal GitHub account, follow the instructions below:

  • Navigate to GitHub and select "Sign Up" near the top right-hand corner of the page.

  • Enter your syr.edu email address.

  • Create a password. 

    • Best practice is to have a different password than your Syracuse University NetID.

  • Create a username. 

  • Solve the captcha and create your account.

  • After creating your account, multifactor will need to be enabled - navigate to the GitHub Passkey Setup and follow the instructions for MFA.
