Once you receive your coupon code, you must use it to submit payment and upgrade your chosen course session. You must use your coupon before the Payment Deadline of the term in which you plan to take the course’s Proctored Exam.
To pay for your course, please follow the instructions below:
-
Navigate to your MITx Online Dashboard, find the correct course session (be sure to check that the course lists Active and the start date of the current session!), and click the "Get Certificate" button in the lower-right corner
Alternatively, you can upgrade by clicking the “Upgrade” button.
-
Find and click the "Upgrade" button on the right side of the window within your course's Courseware (be sure it is the correct course session, as above!)
Either way, you will be brought to the Checkout Page. Ensure that the course start date you have selected is the course for which you wish to pay before you submit payment.
To use your $100 USD Course Coupon and submit payment from the Checkout page:
- Copy your coupon code from the follow up email—you can copy and paste the full code (you do not have to re-type the code yourself) into the "Coupon Code" field of the Checkout Page.
- Click the "Apply" button to apply your coupon code—you should see the "Coupon applied" line item in the "Order Summary" above change to reflect your new price for this course.
- Click the "Place your order" button and follow the instructions to complete payment.
Important Caveats
Coupons can only be used for one DEDP course session.
- Learners who win a $100 Course Price Coupon can redeem the coupon only once and for one DEDP course only (the coupon is not reusable).
- The coupon must be used prior to the coupon’s expiration date.
- When used at checkout to pay for a DEDP course session, the Course Price Coupon will discount the price for that course session to $100 USD. The price for all other DEDP courses, and for future sessions of the chosen course, will remain $250 USD.
- Learners who win a coupon must use their coupon before the Payment Deadline of the DEDP term in which they wish to take the Proctored Exam.
- Lottery Coupons are awarded via email approximately 1-2 weeks before the Payment Deadline.
- MITx MicroMasters staff cannot apply a learners' coupon for them nor can the staff reactivate expired coupons. If you receive a Course Price Coupon via the Lottery, you must use the coupon prior to the coupon’s expiration date.
- Each DEDP MicroMasters course is offered on a set schedule, between one and three times per year. For more information and a list of course availability, please refer to the FAQ article How often will the DEDP courses run? Where can I find a schedule for all upcoming course runs?
