The MySlice student portal is the home of your Financial Aid To Do List and your aid offer. For incoming and returning students, please check your MySlice To Do List on a regular basis.
Activate NetID
You will need to activate your NetID (which is different from your Syracuse University ID Number).
Net ID Example: OTTO44
SUID Example: 123456789
To sign on to MySlice, first activate your Net ID using your Syracuse University ID (SUID) listed above. If you have not yet activated your Net ID, you can do so now by visiting the Syracuse University Information Technology and Services webpage.
Please note that it could take 24-48 hours for your NetID to activate and for your MySlice student portal to be accessible. Your patience is appreciated during the activation process. If you cannot log in to MySlice 48 hours after you have activated your NetID, please contact IT Services for assistance.
Once at the Microsoft login screen for MySlice, your username is your NetID, followed by @syr.edu (ex: NetID: otto44 Microsoft Sign-In: otto44@syr.edu)

Financial Aid Offer and To Do List
On MySlice, you may:
- View your financial aid offer and aid details
- View your Financial Aid To Do List.
- Upload and submit any requested items on your Financial Aid To Do List.
- Accept, reduce, or decline federal student loan offers
In our efforts to keep your information private and confidential, we will ask that your parent or family member authenticate themselves before we can share any personal information over the phone. Please be sure to complete the authentication form on your financial aid To Do List to provide us with the authenticating information.
Please note: The status of your admissions application and materials can be found by accessing the Admission Application Portal. MySlice is used to monitor the status of your Financial Aid applications and document requirements.
Proxy Access to MySlice
MySlice proxy accounts are created by SU students and applicants to share limited access to their information within MySlice with someone (ex, the ability to pay bills). The student or applicant controls the level of access granted.
Starting October 3, 2025, proxies can log into MySlice using their personal email accounts instead of remembering and using separate MySlice credentials to log into MySlice. Proxy accounts that were created before October 3, 2025, will not work after October 2, 2025. A new account will need to be set up by the student or applicant for each proxy.
Creating the Proxy Account
Students/applicants need to create a new proxy account on or after October 3, 2025:
Students/applicants log into MySlice and click on Share My Access to create a new account for their proxy using the person’s email address. They select what access the proxy account will have to their information as part of this process.
Proxies receive a Microsoft invitation email to complete account setup if they are not already using that email address to access resources at SU.
Once setup is complete, the email address is linked to a Microsoft account for SU, and the email address can now be used to log into MySlice.
How Proxies Log In
Once setup is complete, proxies can access MySlice using their email account.
- Non-Microsoft accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Verizon, etc.): Receive a verification code at the proxy email address
- Microsoft accounts (Outlook, Hotmail, MSN, work/school): Use the email account’s regular login credentials
Enhanced Security with Multi-Factor Authentication
To better protect student/applicant and proxy data, MySlice will require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all proxy logins. During login, you’ll need to provide an additional verification method, such as:
- A code from an authenticator app
- A text message verification code
This security measure has been standard for students, faculty, and staff, and will now be extended to proxies for consistent protection across all MySlice users.
