# Enrolling in a paid course

You have to pay to enroll in some courses offered with CodeGrade, this is done easily and securely via our online payment system. This guide will show you step by step how you can enroll in a paid course in CodeGrade.

## Instructions

1. Launch your first CodeGrade assignment. Ask your instructor whether to do this through your LMS (eg. Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, etc.) or directly in the CodeGrade app.
2. Once the assignment is launched you should see a pop-up indicating that you must pay for access to the course materials.
3. Click on the link in the payment message (or the Checkout button). This will take you to the checkout page.
4. Select the "Pay by card" option to pay directly. If you have received a coupon code, follow the instructions in the link below:

* On the payment page fill in the required Credit Card Information and Billing Address. Please carefully confirm the course name and subtotal before pressing the "**Pay**" button.
* After a successful payment, you will redirected back to CodeGrade and get a confirmation on the top right corner and a confirmation email (please carefully save the data in this email, as this is important data if you ever need support and includes your username).
