Sharing MySlice Access with Parents, Guardians, or Family Members

Syracuse University students may share specific sections of their MySlice account with a parent, guardian, and/or family member. Available sections include the financial aid portfolio, academic information, and payment areas.

You can find information about what these accounts can see, including screenshots, on the What a Parent Sees page.

Logging Into Parent/Proxy Accounts

To log in, parent/proxy account users should navigate to https://myslice.syr.edu.

The username and password are created and managed by the student. The username is provided via email or directly from the student and will begin with a '1'.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ITS representatives cannot confirm parent/proxy usernames or reset account passwords. All account management is done via the student MySlice account using the instructions below. For security reasons, parent/proxy account users are not permitted to access the student account.

Users being directed to a Microsoft login page are likely logging into the student account. Parent/proxy account users are not permitted to access the student account and should verify they are logging into the correct account.
Users receiving error messages, such as SSO or authentication related, should clear their browsers cache and cookies before they are able to log in. Instructions are available by browser on the Clearing Browser History and Cache page.
