Existing New York Times Online Subscribers

Note: If you have an existing, paid NYT subscription, you must cancel it before you can activate the free UD Library provided subscription. You may cancel by emailing customercare@nytimes.com, connecting with a chat agent on the site, or calling 800-591-9233.

After cancelling your existing account:

• Go to www.accessnyt.com.
• Find your school name by selecting “University of Delaware” from the dropdown menu.
• Click “Already have an account? Log in here.”
• Input your udel.edu email address and the same password you created for your previous account.
• Select your status as “student” (enter your graduation date) or “faculty/staff.”
• Click “Continue” and you will be directed to www.nytimes.com.

Tips and Troubleshooting:

• Students will have access until they graduate.
• Faculty and staff must renew once every four years. Add your expiration date to your calendar; there will be no subsequent reminder.
• If you find that you no longer have access, it is most likely because your account has expired.
• After expiration, activate a new pass by visiting NYTimes.com/GroupPass.
• You may reset your NYT password any time here: nytimes.com/forgot
