New York Times Campus License

Information on how to access the campus license of NYT.com, including how to activate and renew your personal license.

Access Instructions

Warren Wilson has an academic site license to The New York Times web site. This “Group Pass” gives you unlimited access to all content on the site, with the exception of a limitation on the number of articles you can view from the archive period 1923-1980. (Access includes the archives dating back to 1851 with limited access of 5 article downloads per day during 1923-1980.) All content outside of 1923-1980 is unlimited.

At the end of the one-year license, you will need to return to the url below to re-activate another license (using your existing login).

  • While connected to the WWC network and on campus, Go to nytimes.com/grouppass.
  • Create an NYTimes.com account using your school email address. If you already have an NYTimes.com account using your school email address, you may log in with those credentials.
    • IMPORTANT: If you have an individual paid digital subscription to the NYTimes.com using your Warren Wilson email address and want to cancel it so that you can take advantage of our institutional group pass, you should first change the email address associated with that account to a non-WWC address. 
    • Once you have changed the email address, you should be able to cancel the account and sign on to the Group Pass. Also note that the Group Pass does not allow the use of tablet apps, though mobile apps for phones will work (you can also just use the mobile NYT site on either a phone or tablet).
  • When you see START YOUR ACCESS, the expiration time and date of your pass will appear.
  • Go to NYTimes.com and enjoy your full access from any location, whether you are on campus or off.
