 Are you having issues accessing Degree Works? Here are some tips!

  1. First confirm you have been granted access to Degree Works:
    • Degree Works is for students enrolled in a degree program at Syracuse University. Access starts 4 weeks before your first term. If you are not enrolled (active in degree program, registered for coursework), you will not have access to Degree Works.

       2. Are you going to correct screen in MySlice?

       3. Next, make sure you are using your Syracuse account for Multifactor Authentication (MFA) sign in. MFA will not work for logging into MySlice if you use your personal Microsoft account.

    • You can review which Microsoft profile you are using simply by going to Microsoft Edge and clicking on the profile icon at top left of screen:
    • If your “….@syr.edu” displays, you are in your Syracuse Microsoft profile.
    • It may be useful to add account so you can toggle between your personal and Syracuse profiles if needed.

        4. Try accessing MySlice and Degree Works in an incognito/private window. Were you successful? If so, it could be a caching issue with browser when not in private/incognito mode (see step 5).

       5. The cache of your browser may need to be cleared due to an expired login that you are still trying to utilize.

    • Apple Safari (Mac users), Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox are recommended browsers for Degree Works. Internet Explorer is no longer supported.
    • Please make sure you are using the most up-to-date browser version as older versions can cause access issues.
