As of January 5, 2022, American University will be expanding access to The New York Times to all current faculty, students, and staff.

Due to this change, your current New York Times digital access will stop on January 5, 2022, and you will need to reactivate your account.

Please follow the instructions below to continue your access:
1. Log out of nytimes.com on all your devices.
2. Go to http://accessnyt.com/ (or click on the link above)
3. Type and select "American University” in the box and then select “American University” from the dropdown menu.

***Please note: after selecting “American University” you are brought to a page that has both on-campus and off-campus login information. The on-campus link is prominent at the top of the page. To use the off-campus logon, you need to scroll down the “Go” button, which is below the fold. ***

4. Click “Already have an account? Log in here.”
5. Input your existing New York Times login credentials
6. Select your status as "student" (enter graduation date) or “faculty/staff.”
