If you have a personal paid NYT Digital Subscription and want to cancel it and claim a Pass: You must change the email address associated with your account to your ithaca.edu email address and cancel your existing subscription before you can claim a Pass. Then claim a Pass, selecting "Already have an account? Log in here," and enter your ithaca.edu email and existing password.
If you are renewing an expired Pass or or if you already have an nytimes.com account with your ithaca.edu email: Click "Already have an account? Log in here" and enter your account information.
Upon successful account creation or confirmation, you should be brought to a Start Your Access screen which will contain a note about your account's expiration date.
