Newspapers

What you need in order to activate or renew your account:

• An active @reed.edu email address

Before you set up your Reed account:

• If you already have a paid subscription, you will first need to cancel it by calling 1-800-JOURNAL (tell them you are converting your account to a school-sponsored subscription)

Account renewal:

• Student accounts are active until graduation
• Faculty and staff must "refresh" annually, but you will receive reminders 7 days before expiration and again 24-48 hours before expiration

Steps:

1. Go to WSJ.com/Reed to create your account.
2. Choose your account type: student, staff, or professor. If you are a student, you must put in your graduation year. (Spring/fall senior? Use the following year as your graduation date. For example, if you're due to finish your thesis at the end of the 2024 fall term, use 2025 as your graduation year.)
3. Enter a new-to-you password. For security, do not re-use your Kerberos password.
4. Use the check boxes to set whether you want to receive marketing emails and to agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Once you click the Create button, you will receive a series of prompts to download the WSJ app, personalize your account, and set up newsletter subscriptions. You can skip all of these, or adjust your account settings later.
6. Check for your Reed inbox for an account verification email.

After claiming your access, you can sign into your WSJ account directly at wsj.com from any computer using the email and password you entered when creating your account. There is no need to go through the library's URL again.

If you are accessing WSJ on a public computer, please remember to sign out.
