The details
Students get NYT digital access at $1 per week, charged in advance roughly every 4 weeks. Unlike consumer intro promos, the student rate persists as long as you keep qualifying, though NYT may periodically re-verify enrollment. Separately, many universities provide a free NYT Academic Pass through their library at no cost — a distinct institutional program.
