</Tip>

## Confirm Your Enrollment

Check that the course name matches your instructor's invitation.
The next step depends on whether the course is free and, for a paid course, how you pay.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Free Course">
    The confirmation tells you the course is free.
    Select **Enroll** to join it.

    <Frame caption="For a free course, confirm the course name and select Enroll.">
      <img className="block dark:hidden" src="https://mintcdn.com/uflo/bjFY7d8Jb3xynmGG/images/illustrations/students-getting-started-enrollment-free/light.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=bjFY7d8Jb3xynmGG&q=85&s=b38e85996c2a49e4aea2851ad269dc20" alt="Confirmation asking whether to enroll in Introduction to Biology, stating the course is free, with Cancel and Enroll buttons." width="4800" height="1728" data-path="images/illustrations/students-getting-started-enrollment-free/light.webp" />

    </Frame>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Pay Directly">
    The enrollment screen shows the course price for its quarter or semester.
    Select **Pay Directly** to open checkout.
    Enter a promotion code there if you have one, then complete payment.
    You return to Uflo afterward.

    <Frame caption="Pay directly or redeem a bookstore access code. Your price depends on your course.">

  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Access Code">
    If you bought an access code from your campus bookstore, use it instead of paying in Uflo.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Select Use Access Code">
        <Warning>
          Each access code works only once. Check that the course name matches your instructor's invitation before you redeem it.
        </Warning>

        Select **Use Access Code** on the enrollment screen.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter Your Access Code">
        Enter or paste the six-character code from your bookstore in **Access Code**.
        Codes contain letters and numbers, and capitalization doesn't matter.
        After the sixth character, Uflo redeems the code and opens your course.

        <Frame caption="Uflo redeems the code when you enter the last character.">

  Enter the ID assigned by your school and select **Continue**.
  Ask your instructor if you are unsure which ID to use.

## Resolve Enrollment Problems

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between a course code and an access code?">
    A course code finds your course. An access code pays for your enrollment in a paid course.

    |             | Course code           | Access code             |
    | ----------- | --------------------- | ----------------------- |
    | Comes from  | Your instructor       | Your campus bookstore   |
    | Looks like  | Six digits            | Six letters and numbers |
    | Who uses it | Everyone in the class | Only you, once          |
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can't I enroll using the QR code?">
    If the code scans but enrollment doesn't complete, open the link in a regular browser tab instead of private or incognito mode.
    You can also use your instructor's enrollment link or six-digit code.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why isn't my course code working?">
    Check that you entered all six digits from your instructor's code.
    If it still fails, ask your instructor to confirm the code and that enrollment is open.
    If Uflo says enrollment requires approval, select **Support** in the sidebar for help.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why isn't my access code working?">
    Uflo shows **This access code cannot be redeemed.** when a code is mistyped, already used, or expired.
    Access codes work once and expire one year after they are issued.
    Check each character and try again.
    If it still fails, select **Support** in the sidebar and include the code and the course name.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I redeemed my access code for the wrong course. What should I do?">
    Select **Support** in the sidebar before buying another code.
    Include the code, the course you used it for, and the course you meant to join.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can't I find or open my course?">
    Check that you are signed in with the account you used to enroll, then reload **Courses**.
    If you left before confirming enrollment or finishing checkout, open your instructor's invitation again to finish joining.

    If the course opens but a lesson or file is missing, check [content availability](/students/getting-started/navigating-a-course#understand-content-availability).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I paid, but I still can't access my course. What should I do?">
    Contact **Support** in Uflo's sidebar before paying again. Include the course name and your payment confirmation so the team can check your access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I correct my student ID?">
    Open **Settings** → **Profile**, update your student ID, and select **Save Changes**.
    Return to your course after saving.
