Activate your free access to The New York Times
Thanks to UNCSA, students, faculty and staff now have free access to The New York
Times.
Noted for its editorial excellence, The New York Times has won 132 Pulitzer Prizes
and is long considered the “newspaper of record” in the United States.
The Times offers robust arts coverage and is a great way to stay connected to your
industry. Stories span the disciplines of dance, design, theater, music, film, and
opera, as well as multidisciplinary innovation.
Whether you’re a student writing a paper, a faculty member prepping course materials,
a staff member researching a topic, or someone simply planning for the weekend ahead,
The New York Times will help you discover original, quality journalism that helps
you understand the world – and make the most of every part of life.
Once a student or employee has activated their access as a new subscriber, they will
be able to personalize their experience with newsletters and download the New York
Times app. Here are the steps to activate your free, complimentary access:
