As an Alverno patron you have full access to the New York Times online!

Set up your access.

Why create an account? The New York Times is one of the world's most respected and credible news sources. Although articles from the Times don't count as scholarly sources for most research purposes, they're an excellent way to stay informed as a global citizen and to begin to do some preliminary research into a scholarly topic. With a membership through Alverno, you'll have free access to all New York Times content, including their archives, with no monthly limit on the number of articles you can read.

Tips and Troubleshooting

  • If you have any problems setting up your account, see the NYTimes.com group pass help page at: https://help.nytimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015957688-NYTimes-com-passes
  • Your New York Times account may be signed in directly at nytimes.com from any computer using the same email and password used to create your account. There is no need to go through the steps above until your pass needs to be renewed.
  • If you select “cancel” on the “My Account” page, you will lose your unlimited access to nytimes.com and your account will revert to a free account with access to 10 articles per month. If you canceled your account by mistake, you can renew your unlimited access by following steps 1-4 above.
  • If you’re having problems connecting your pre-existing account to your institution’s pass make sure that you’re logged out prior to authenticating your pass.

Renewing Your Account

If you have set up a group pass account but are no longer able to access articles, you most likely need to renew your account as accounts do expire after a set time. To renew:

  1. Navigate to accessnyt.com
  2. Search for / Select Alverno College. You will be redirected to: https://nytimesineducation.com/access-nyt/alverno-college-milwaukee-wi/
  3. If on campus, click on the link that reads "here." If you are off campus, click on the "go" button. 
  4. Log in with your existing New York Times username and password

If the URL in step one does not work, try: https://myaccount.nytimes.com/verification/digitalpass

As part of our access to the New York Times online, you also get access to the The New York Times in Education. New content and teaching resources are added to this site by Faculty Contributors on a weekly basis.

This site requires a separate 1-time registration that is different from your NYTimes Online registration. Simply go to www.nytimes.com/edu and click "Register" in the upper right corner to get started with your alverno.edu email address.
