Note: If you already have a paid subscription associated with your COCC email address, you may get an error in the registration process. You will need to cancel your paid account first before registering via the Library-sponsored subscription.

Account Reactivation

Faculty and Staff: Your access needs to be refreshed every year to confirm continued affiliation with COCC.

You'll receive an email seven days prior to the refresh date. Click "refresh membership" in this email to renew access.

This email may get caught in COCC's email filters. Check your "held emails" notifications or log in to the Mimecast portal directly to find it. The subject line will be "Action Needed: Refresh Your Access." 

Students: When you create an account, you'll be asked to enter your graduation date. Your account will automatically expire 90 days after that graduation date. 

If you remain a student after your estimated graduation date and/or you return to COCC after an absence, you will need to contact the Wall Street Journal customer support team at 1-800-JOURNAL or academicsupport@dowjones.com to reactivate your account.
