  • I already have a Times digital subscription, which gives me unlimited access to NYTimes.com. What should I do?

    • If you have an existing digital subscription, you are not eligible to activate a Pass.
    • Please contact edu@nytimes.com (support for institutions) to discuss your options.

  • What are the restrictions?

    • At this time, access to articles from 1923 to 1980 is limited to five articles per day.
