What to do if Coursera is not working
- Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to bypass cached errors.
- Try Coursera in a private window to rule out extensions and stale cookies.
- If you're on a school or work network, a filter or firewall may be blocking Coursera. Try another network.
- Check whether Coursera is down only in your region by trying it on mobile data.
- For assignment or exam platforms, screenshot any errors with the time showing. Instructors often accept them as proof of an outage.
- Change your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 if Coursera fails to load but other sites work.
Coursera outage FAQ
Is Coursera down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to coursera.org directly from our servers, so if our check works but Coursera doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Coursera is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Coursera is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that coursera.org is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Coursera, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Coursera as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Coursera?
We check Coursera automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Coursera outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
