New Sign In Screen Launching Sept. 17

Tuesday, September 10, 2024, By Eric Ferguson

Effective Sept. 17, the Microsoft Sign in experience for students, faculty and staff will feature a new look that reflects University branding guidelines.

The new Sign in screen will help users distinguish between the University-sanctioned portal and other Sign in screens that might be for personal accounts or malicious sites designed to trick users into revealing their account information.

The new look will be consistent across desktop, phones and tablet devices. Other features of the updated Sign in screen include a link to netid.syr.edu to get help with account access and the ability to add news alerts or other information.
