  2. After verifying your school credentials, you will be directed to WSJ.com to create your account.

What if I already have an account?

WSJ does not allow 2 simultaneous subscriptions for the same user. You can cancel your existing subscription and then go through the registration process via UIC's institutional subscription, described at the top of the page. Call Customer Service to cancel at 1-800-JOURNAL (1-800-568-7625).

Refreshing Access

Faculty and staff will need to refresh their access to WSJ content each year to confirm they are still affiliated with the university.

All faculty and staff users will receive an email notification seven days prior to their refresh. By clicking “Refresh Membership” or the “Click Here” prompt in the email, users will be directed to refresh their access for another year.

For Students:

If you are a current student whose graduation date has changed from the one you initially entered and you have lost access, please contact Courtney Hopper at WSJ (courtney.hopper@dowjones.com) to restore access.
