Sign up for a Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com) subscription for free courtesy of the library

Thanks to a partnership with the Twin Cities campus, students, faculty, and staff now can register for a free subscription with the Wall Street Journal website. 

Kathryn A. Martin Library has partnered with our colleagues on the Twin Cities campus to allow University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Duluth students, faculty, and staff to register for free, school-sponsored subscription accounts on the Wall Street Journal website using your @d.umn.edu or @umn.edu email address. You can register for your WSJ.com account by clicking on the link on the library’s Database List or by using this link: Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com). Once a personal account is created, you can access WSJ.com from anywhere.

Since free subscription access relies solely on your access to the appropriate email domain, we unfortunately cannot provide guest access in the library. Due to a significant number of Duluth students, faculty, and staff having an @umn.edu email address rather than a @d.umn.edu email address, the Twin Cities and Duluth combined our institutional sign-up page for ease of registration. If you have a Crookston or Morris email address, you may need to update your campus domain or check the school-sponsored WSJ membership lists for Students or Instructors for the appropriate registration link.

  • Full Access to WSJ.com, WSJ Context, Mobile and Tablet Apps
