Tips and Troubleshooting

  • The NYT pass page is needed ONLY to sign up for or renew access; all content is at nytimes.com (or download the mobile app from the App Store or on Google Play).
  • Students will have access until they graduate.
  • Faculty and staff must renew once every four years; add your pass expiration date to your calendar; there will be no subsequent reminder. After expiration, you may activate a new pass as long as you are connected to the SUNY Fredonia network.
  • Remember, Fredonia users have two email accounts, be mindful of which one you use to sign up for an NYTimes account. 
  • You may reset your NYT password any time here: nytimes.com/forgot
