How to access Course Hero study aids with free unlocks
Step 1: Register
Create a free Course Hero account. Enter your name, email address, and school.
Step 2: Upload your study documents
The key to receiving free unlocks is to upload your own study documents so you’re contributing to Course Hero’s learning community. Once you’ve registered, you’ll be taken to a page to upload your documents in exchange for free unlocks. Upload relevant class notes, test prep materials, essays, and lab reports with the easy uploading tool. Add the document type, class information, and tags, which will help other students find your resources and rate them (which could lead to even more free unlocks!).
Remember to only upload material that you own the copyright for, meaning they’re notes or outlines that you wrote yourself. See Course Hero’s copyright policies.
Step 3: Check the unlock status
It normally takes a few hours for newly uploaded documents to be processed (though it can sometimes take up to three days). If they are accepted by the system, your free unlocks await!
Remember, the more documents you upload, the more unlocks you’ll receive, so upload your notes and study resources throughout the semester. That way you’ll have a store of unlocks available when you really need them, around midterms or finals. Happy studying!
