New York Times (Digital All Access for Fairmont State members): How to register

Fairmont State provides all faculty, staff, and students with Digital ALL ACCESS to the New York Times.

Single Sign-On (SSO) for members of Fairmont State University is established by IT.  SSO permits you to use a single ID/password to access multiple related, yet independent, software systems.

In this case, SSO will allow you to maintain any Games streaks, saved articles and recipes, and preferences and newsletters if you have an existing NY Times account.

It will also permit you to maintain your account when you graduate or if you leave the university.

Note that the steps to take advantage of this benefit vary depending on whether you are:

A New NY Times user
