Bentley University students, faculty and staff members now have free access to Wall Street Journal website. The Bentley Library has a subscription that gives members of the Bentley community full access to the content on the WSJ.com website. Users can also use their mobile devices to access the Wall Street Journal.

Register for an Account:

• Go directly to Bentley’s account activation page.
  • This is a special link created just for Bentley and the only link to help you sign up for an account via our subscription.
• You will be brought to a Bentley Log In page. Enter your Bentley credentials to sign in. You may be asked to authenticate with two-factor authentication.
• Complete the Create Account form with your information, selecting whether you are a student, staff, or faculty member. 
  • If asked to create a password, we recommend using a password different than your Bentley network password for security reasons.
  • Do not change your account email from your Bentley email address. This can lead to account log in and renewal issues in the future.

• Verify your account by following the directions in the email that has been sent to you.

Enjoy your WSJ.com access! This account will last for one calendar year before you will have to renew your account. 

Mobile Apps

WSJ Apps are available for iOS and Android to take your subscription with you wherever you are. To download the free apps, visit https://platforms.wsj.com/.

Returning Users:

There's no special log in screen once you have activated your account. You can log in right from WSJ.com!

Wall Street Journal accounts last for one calendar year from activation. At the end of the subscription period, you will need to renew your account. The process is very similar to creating an account, but here are some steps to make it easier:

1. Click Bentley Library's unique account activation link.
2. You will be brought to a Bentley Log In page. Enter your Bentley credentials to sign in. You may be asked to authenticate with two-factor authentication.
3. Complete the Create Account form with your information.
4. You will see a confirmation screen if you have registered successfully. A confirmation email will be sent to you. 
5. Complete the renewal process by clicking the link in the email. 
6. Make sure you refresh your browser, etc. if you are still being asked to subscribe when you are logged in (especially if you had any WSJ pages open before renewing your account).

Note: If you are using any WSJ apps on a phone or tablet, you may have to log back in on those devices after renewal.
