New York Times at Murphy Library: Home

What is an academic pass?

• Access to the NYT Digital Edition via website or mobile app
• Available to all UWL students, faculty, and staff
• Available on and off campus

How do you register?

• Go to NYTimes.com/pass
• Register with your UWL email account
• Create a new password, but do not use your UWL password.
• Check your UWL email for an activation link sent by the New York Times (If you do not receive an email from the NYT within a few minutes, check your spam folder).

How long does the pass last?

• The pass is good for one year
• To renew, you must re-register before a year has gone by since your initial registration
• When you first register, NYT displays the date that your pass will expire and offers to add a reminder to your calendar.

The New York Times has apps for:

• iPhone & iPod
• Android
• Blackberry
• Kindle Fire
• Windows 8
• Windows Phone

Download apps at the New York Times Mobile apps site.  After installing the app, log in with your UWL email and the password you used when you first activated your NYT account.

Thanks to funding by the UWL College of Business Administration, Murphy Library has acquired campus wide access to the New York Times Digital Edition.

Known as an "academic pass" all students, faculty, and staff have complete access to all the content of the digital New York Times. The pass includes all news, archives, special features, special educational content, and much more.  Not included are e-reader editions, Times Premier content or digital versions of The New York Times Crossword

Each user must activate their pass by creating a unique account with the New York Times using their UWL email account.

Academic passes must be reactivated (renewed) every year.

How do you reactivate?

• Go to https://nytimes.com/passes and use the "Log in here" link (NOT the "Create Account" link) using your UWL email and the password you used when you created your account.
• Check your UWL email for a confirmation email from the New York Times (check Junk and Clutter folders if necessary).
• Click the link in the email, and you are set for another year.

How do you discover when your academic pass will expire?

• Just as in the first step above, go to https://nytimes.com/passes and use the "Log in here" link (NOT the "Create Account" link) using your UWL email and the password you used when you created your account.
• The renewal date should be displayed at the top of the page
