I am having trouble enrolling in the course.
If you are having trouble enrolling in a course, it could be because you have already enrolled and login information already exists. You may see a notification that the email you are attempting to use already exists, indicating you have previously enrolled. If you are taking advantage of a coupon code during the enrollment process, make sure the code is entered correctly (spelling, no spaces, etc.). If you are having difficulty completing your purchase, see the related question below.
Why can’t I hear sound in the videos and/or audio interviews?
If the videos or interviews are playing, but you can’t hear anything, your sound may be turned off on your computer or on the actual video/interview. Go to your computer controls and click on the speaker to see if there is an “X” indicating that you have muted your system volume, or check for an “X” on the speaker symbol in the video/interview control bar indicating you have muted the video/interview itself. In addition, your system volume may simply be too low (but not muted) to be audible.
