MySlice

MySlice core applications - Peoplesoft Human Resources (HR), Campus Solutions (CS), and Financials (FIN), as well as MySlice itself are based on Oracle's Peopletools platform.  PeopleTools platform, which has specific web browser requirements.

Note: Other applications accessed through MySlice like Blackboard, Bills on the Web, Housing, Parking, etc. may have different browser support requirements .Since the major browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge) have adopted a continuous upgrade philosophy, and all browsers auto-update to the latest versions on most clients - testing and certifying individual browser versions is no longer feasiblewhich are not listed here.

Oracle officially supports "the current major (Stable) release, and the most prior major release" of Chrome, FF, Safari, and MS Edge/IE.
As of August 2020, Internet Explorer (IE) is not supported by Oracle and therefore is not supported for use with MySlice.

Oracle's official and most up-to-date support list can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/products/browser-policy-2859268.html

However, this does not mean that Oracle actually tests and certifies these many different versions.

In general, unless directed otherwise due to a known compatibility issue, it is best to use the latest current stable release of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or IE/ Edge*. On mobile devices - Safari for iOS, and Chrome** for Android.


* MS Edge does have some known issues but Edge is also being updated frequently by Microsoft. IE support will decrease in coming years as Microsoft reduces support for it.

Officially Tested Browser Versions by Platform

The following browsers were officially tested by Oracle during the development of PeopleTools 8.56.10 in 2017:

Note: these are all very old compared to current versions, as they are certified by Oracle during development of the software release - typically about 2 years before it is deployed in production at Syracuse University.

** Chrome is the only officially supported browser on Android devices, many android devices come with an alternate "android web browser" that can be branded by the vendor, often the icon is simply "internet". These browsers, and any browser other than chrome, are specifically not supported. Download Google Chrome from the Google Play Store and replace the default browser.
