FAQ

  • Q: I am a student. I already signed up for an account through the SGA. Do I need to do anything?
  • A: Yes.  On Friday, February 26th, existing subscriptions will be canceled. To re-activate your account, use the link above and use the "Already have an account? Log in here" link. Sign in using your existing nytimes.com password.

 

  • Q: I pay for my own account. Can I switch?
  • A: Yes! You'll need to cancel your existing subscription by contacting the NYTime's customer care department: customercare@nytimes.com / 800-591-9233. Once that's done, you can re-activate your account here. If your existing account uses your colgate.edu email address, use the "Already have an account? Log in here" link on the sign-up page, and enter your current NYTimes.com password. If you used another email address for your personal subscription, you can instead create a new account using your Colgate email address.
