Thanks to a college-wide subscription, all TCC students, faculty and staff have access to all articles, breaking news, blogs, multimedia and more from The New York Times. You can enjoy access to NYTimes.com and the NYTimes mobile apps from wherever you are.

For access, you need to set up an account and claim a pass. Follow the directions below to claim your pass.


First step to claim your pass:

Visit the NY Times Academic Pass site linked below:

Then follow these directions:

  • Go to https://www.nytimes.com/activate-access/edu-access
