2. Follow the prompts (you may be asked to authenticate your WKU credentials during the process, but you can still use a personal email to create the NYT account).
If you are faculty/staff, your account is good for four (4) years. You may be presented with an option to set a calendar reminder when you will need to reauthenticate for continued access.
If you are a student, you have access through your graduation date, at which point The New York Times will offer you a reduced subscription price if you wish to continue your own subscription.
You’re all set! Enjoy your All-Access subscription to The New York Times online or via their mobile app.
