Often when there is difficulty accessing a course it is because a wrong or misspelled email address is being used. Make sure you are using the correct spelling of the email you used to sign up for the course.
You can reset your password by going to the course site (Thinkific), clicking “Sign in” and then selecting “Forgot my password.” That page lives here: https://ofcourse.thinkific.com/users/password/new. After selecting Forgot my password, you will receive an email with a link to reset your password. This email can take up to 5-10 minutes to be received. Note: if you click Forgot my password many times, multiple emails will be sent and only the reset link in the most recent email will work. If you get an error message this is usually because Forgot my password has been clicked too many times and you are attempting to use an old link. It can also happen if you click on a link that is over 6 hours old.

Card processing issues are often caused by a restriction set by the cardholder's bank. From insufficient funds to an overzealous fraud system, payment failures can happen for a number of reasons. If possible, a quick first step is to try a different card. Also, some debit cards require a PIN to be entered. If you trying to use one of these cards, you may need to use another card to make the purchase. Finally, some corporate cards can only be used for certain business categories, like travel or healthcare. In this case, a different card will need to be used. If any of these suggestions are not successful, please contact miguel@ofcourseworks for further assistance.
