Frequently Asked Questions

Login issues may be caused by credential problems, account verification requirements, or service disruptions. Verify your email and password are correct, check if you need to complete email verification or password reset, and try using an alternative login method (like Google or Facebook) if you've previously connected these accounts.

Video playback issues can result from network bandwidth limitations, browser compatibility problems, or service disruptions. Try lowering the video quality in the player settings, clear your browser cache, and check if the issue persists across different courses or just specific content.

Submission failures may be caused by browser compatibility issues, session timeout problems, or service disruptions. Try using a different browser, ensure your internet connection is stable during submission, and check if the assignment has specific file size or format requirements that might be causing issues.

Performance issues can stem from browser extensions, caching problems, or service disruptions. Try disabling browser extensions, clearing your cache and cookies, and accessing Coursera using the mobile app if the website is problematic (or vice versa).

Display issues may be caused by browser compatibility, script blocking, or service disruptions. Try using a different browser, ensure JavaScript is enabled, and check if any content blockers or security software might be interfering with course content loading.

Enrollment errors can result from payment processing issues, course availability problems, or service disruptions. Verify your payment method details if enrolling in a paid course, check if the course is still accepting enrollments, and try enrolling through a different browser or the mobile app.

Certificate issues may be caused by completion verification problems, processing delays, or service disruptions. Verify you've completed all required course components with passing grades, allow 24-48 hours for certificate processing after completion, and check if your account name matches your identity verification documents (if verified).

App stability issues can stem from outdated versions, device compatibility problems, or service disruptions. Try updating the Coursera app to the latest version, restart your device, and ensure your device meets the minimum requirements for the current app version.

Users may encounter various types of disruptions when using Coursera, including occasional video playback buffering during peak usage hours, temporary assignment submission delays during system maintenance periods, or brief unavailability of specific course materials while updates are being published. Quiz and assessment functionality might sometimes experience timing inconsistencies, particularly during high-traffic periods. Mobile application synchronization with web progress could occasionally require manual refreshing. Payment processing for course enrollments might experience verification delays for international transactions. During platform updates, users might notice temporary limitations in certain interactive features like discussion forums or peer review assignments, or experience delayed notification delivery for course announcements and deadlines.
