When Your SLUCare Digital Access Isn't Working
⚠️ Forgot Username or Password
Cause: Inability to recall login credentials.
Solution: Click the Forgot login information? link on the login page. If you recall your username but not your password, you can reset it. If you forgot both or your security question answer, you may need a new activation code. For immediate assistance, contact the MyChart help desk.
⚠️ Activation Code Not Working or Expired
Cause: The activation code is incorrect, expired, or has already been used.
Solution: Activation codes are usually valid for a limited time (e.g., 45 days) and are for one-time use during sign-up. If your code isn't working, you may need to request a new one from your healthcare clinician's office or through an online form.
⚠️ Account Locked Out
Cause: Multiple failed login attempts or security concerns.
Solution: If your account is locked, contact the MyChart help desk for assistance. They can help deactivate your account if necessary and guide you through regaining access, potentially requiring a new activation code.
