Accessing the New York Times through their Website

•    We have subscribed to the New York Times – News Access Academic Pass product, with access to news articles, excluding Games, Cooking, Wirecutter or The Athletic, etc.
•    Unlike our regular databases where you can simply complete single sign-on and access them, you must create a NY Times account [http://accessnyt.com].  See below to watch a video on how to do it.
•    The NYT pass page (registration page) is needed ONLY to sign up for an account or renew access; all content is at nytimes.com (or download the mobile app from the App Store or on Google Play)
•    Once registered, students will have access until 12/31 of the graduation year they choose.
•    Faculty and staff will have 4 years of full account access, after which they must re-authenticate by visiting the registration page [http://accessnyt.com].  There will be no reminder.
•    You may reset your NYT password any time at http://nytimes.com/forgot
•    If you have an existing paid NYT subscription, you must cancel it before it may be linked to our school’s program; you may cancel through Customer Care: customercare@nytimes.com/ or 800-591-9233
•    Subscribers encountering an error message can email edu@nytimes.com
