If you are off campus, click the Go button and sign in with your usual TC3 username (usually your initials followed by three numbers) and password

Use your TC3 email address to create your NYT account.  Remember that student emails end with @mymail.tc3.edu

The email address you use does not have to be your TC3 one, but if you do use your student email, remember it ends with @mymail.tc3.edu

Don't worry if you're not sure about your graduation date, you'll be asked roughly once per year to confirm that you're still affiliated with TC3.  As long as you have a TC3 username and password, you'll be able to access the Wall Street Journal.
