Get Started with the New York Times Online

Already have a subscription to the New York Times with your PCC email? Skip to the instructions at the bottom of the page under “If you already have a subscription that uses your PCC email address”.

• If you are on campus, follow the “on campus click here” link
• If you are off campus, use the “Go” button
• Login with your PCC credentials.

• Use your PCC email address to create your account
• For security, we recommend that you pick a different password than your PCC password
• Once registered, students have access until 12/31 of the graduation year they choose and faculty/staff have 4 years of full account access, after which they must re-authenticate by visiting New York Times Portland Community College Access

• The first time you login, you will be asked for a few details
• Indicate whether you are student or faculty
• If student, indicate your expected year of graduation date and an alternate email address
• Click sign up
• You will receive a confirmation email to “Start your access” (access is called the “NYTimes.com Pass”)
• Click the “Get Started” button to begin to personalize your account (e.g. subscribe to specific newsletters)

• If desired, you can download the app to your phone or tablet so that you can save articles to read later and access podcasts
• The NY Times has apps for Android and Mac. Get help with apps here
• Create your account first, then use your account to login to the app
• Enter your phone number to link the app to your account (a text will be sent with links for download)

If you already have a personal NY Times subscription but want to access through the PCC library subscription:

• Change the PCC email address on your existing NYTimes online account to a non-PCC email address
• Contact the NY Times to cancel your paid subscription
• *Important* – Anything you might have saved in your personal account (e.g. articles and crossword scores) will not transfer to the PCC subscription. You will need to capture these before you switch to the PCC subscription.
• After you have cancelled your personal subscription, register for PCC digital access by going to New York Times Portland Community College Access
