Activate your NetID

Access to many of the University’s computing services—including access to MySlice, public access to computing labs, access to the wireless network on campus, software downloads, and access to and registry of e-mail accounts—is controlled through your NetID and password. Before attempting to use any of those services, you must activate your NetID by following the instructions below. If you have not already activated your NetID, please follow the instructions below.

Steps to activate your NetID:

  1. Go to the Syracuse University NetID Self-Service site: https://selfserv.syr.edu/selfserv/.
  2. Click “Activate your NetID.”



  3. Enter your SUID and click “NEXT.”
  4. Read the NetID information and policies, and acknowledge you understand them by checking the box that says “I have read and understand the Policy.”
  5. Read the IT Security Basics information and policies, and acknowledge you understand them by checking the box that says “I have read and understand these IT Security Basics.”
  6. Enter your Date of Birth (DOB) and click “NEXT.”
    • Set your Self Remediation Method by selecting either “Setup phone” or “Setup e-mail.”
      If you select “Setup e-mail” you will be required to use a non-SU e-mail address. Then, enter the passcode e-mailed to that address.
    • If you select “Setup phone” you will either select an existing phone number or add a new phone number. Then, enter the passcode texted to that phone number.
