Student Membership

Students are required to enter expected graduation date & year when activating WSJ membership. This is the membership expiration date. Once you have followed the steps for first-time users and activated your account, it should allow you full access until the membership expiration date with no further action on your part. If you graduate later than expected and lose access, you can always reactivate your membership.

Faculty and Staff Membership

All faculty & staff retain WSJ membership for one year after activating. Once you have followed the steps for first-time users and activated your WSJ account using your York email address, it should allow you full access for 52 weeks with no further action on your part. After that, you will have to reactivate your membership.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I already pay for a personal Wall Street Journal subscription?

Current subscribers can call 1-800-JOURNAL (1-800-568-7625) to switch from their paid subscription to the membership through their campus and they will be refunded the remaining balance of their subscription.

Do I need to verify my York email address to register?

The registration should automatically recognize your valid York email when you sign up and you will be directed straight to wsj.com. In some cases, you may need to request a verification email when you log in for the second time – if so, just click the registration link in the email to activate your full access. There is no need to register again if you are able to access wsj.com.

I keep having to log into wsj.com with my email address and password each time I want to enter the site, what can I do?

Some internet browsers allow the user to enable "'private browsing"' or "incognito" mode, which inhibits the use of cookies. If you are browsing in private mode, you will be prompted to log into wsj.com for every new browsing session. Another issue might be the way your browser is set to automatically clear the cache/history. You can adjust these settings if you want your browser to remember your wsj.com login.

Can I access WSJ off-campus?

Yes, as long as you have registered using your valid cuny.edu email address.

Can I access WSJ from my mobile device?

The Wall Street Journal offers a variety of iOS and Android apps for different devices, including Android tablets and phones, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. WSJ is also available on other platforms, including Google Newsstand, Amazon Kindle Fire, and the Flipboard app. You can also always access wsj.com using the browser on your mobile device.

Why am I asked to login on some occasions and not others?

This may be because of how your browser clears its Web cache/history. In such cases, you will need to login back into wsj.com, but there is no need to register another account.

Do campus alumni have access?

Students, faculty, retirees, and staff will have access as long as they have a valid York email address.

Are there other Wall Street Journal resources available on campus?

Most campus libraries offer a variety of ways to search and view the current and historical content of the Wall Street Journal online. Check with your campus librarian for specific details.
