How to activate your digital subscription

When does my digital subscription expire?

Student: When a student activates their membership, they are required to input their graduation date & year. This is their membership expiration date. If they graduate later than expected and lose access, they can re-activate their membership.

Faculty/Staff: All faculty & staff retain WSJ membership for one year after activating. After that, they will have to re-activate their membership.

What if I already have a WSJ 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.
