HOW TO ACCESS:
FIRST Register for an Academic Pass at www.nytimes.com/passes
First time registrants MUST use either their @princeton.edu or @pppl.gov email addresses to register for an Academic Pass. You will receive an email within 15 minutes from the NYTimes requesting that you confirm your email address. You will then receive confirmation that you have an Academic Pass.
If you have difficulty registering for a pass, email edu@nytimes.com from your Princeton or pppl email account.
THEN, once you have your Academic Pass, you can change your email 'sign in' to another one if you prefer (e.g. gmail) by making that change on your account at the NYTimes site.
Your Academic Pass is good for 364 days from the date you activate it; after it expires you can register as above for a new pass for 364 days.
Once registered go to www.nytimes.com and use your signin.
NOTE: If you currently have a paid NYTimes.com digital subscription of your own, for which you registered with your @Princeton.edu or @pppl.gov email address, you are NOT eligible for an Academic Pass. You should continue to access the Times via your own subscription. The New York Times Academic Site License has some restrictions that your personal subscription may not have. Consider the options carefully before deciding to cancel your own subscription. (If you registered for your paid subscription under another of your email addresses, you CAN register for an Academic Pass.)
If you previously registered for the Web Edition and want to take advantage of the Academic Pass, just change your account email to @Princeton.edu or @pppl.gov to obtain an Academic Pass as above. This will give you access to content without cap limits. If you were using your princeton.edu account to obtain the free articles, go to the "passes" page, and instead of clicking on the "register" button, click on the "login" button, and login with your princeton.edu address (and password) from that passes page. You will get the Academic pass associated with your princeton email.
