Academic Site License Implementation With Group Passes

An Academic Site License using NYTimes Group Passes provides users with full access to NYTimes.com and the NYTimes.com smartphone apps.* 

  • Enjoy access to NYTimes.com from any device.
  • Once activated from within your school’s network, an NYTimes.com Group Pass can be used from any location for the duration of your license period.

New Users:  How to Activate a Pass

1.     Go to nytimes.com/grouppass.  

2.     Create an NYTimes.com account using your university email address.  If you already have an NYTimes.com account using your university email address, you may log in with those credentials. Students will also be asked to enter their anticipated graduation date.

3.     When you see START YOUR ACCESS, the expiration time and date of your pass will appear. 

4.     Go to NYTimes.com and enjoy your full access from any location!

Faculty, students, and staff will need to renew their access every 6 months, as prompted by the NYT.
