Course Hero
reviews and complaints

I need to remove my uploaded documents in course hero but there is no button to remove the documents. I also submitted a takedown notice on their page. The uploaded documents contains my name and my instructor's name. It also contains some personal matter like my mental health and things that should be personal. please take action and delete all of the uploaded documents in my account.

I have tried withdraw my balance in my tutor dashboard. But because of unreliable sognal, it kept on refershing which results to multiple request of verification code from my number. Sadly, my account was temporarily disabled and to my dismay Jane the Course Hero support siad that I have violated some oof their rules which I didn't do any of it. All I want is to withdraw my remaining balance because I have put my bedt effort to provide the answers.

Course Hero disabled my account, I have now filed multiple support tickets using course hero's web site customer support https://support.coursehero.com/hc/en-us to either enable my account or refund my money. I provided all of the information requested by support.

All I get is an automated bot information asking for my account details repeatedly asking for the same information above that I have already provided.

At first I can't verify my account through sms where in fact I only input the correct number. Now I'm locked. I can't withdraw from my account knowing that I have $200 plus dollars in my account.

Now I can't open my account it keeps on appearing that it's a bad request I can't even open my account. This happened last April 14. I no longer care if I won't be teaching in their platform but at least let me withdraw the money I earned from there.

My course hero account suddenly disabled on 19.March. first they temporarily disable it and ask for some documents like video of yourself etc. I sent documents on the same day. But I got email that I submit lately and permanent disabled my account. Moreover they didn't let me withdraw my hard work earnings. This is the issue of many tutors. Without any warning disabling account is against the rules. I can prove my account is following the rules of company and did nothing wrong.

I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the way Course Hero has treated me as a tutor on their platform. Despite my best efforts to comply with their requests, my account has been permanently disabled without any clear explanation or further information.

I have been an active tutor on Course Hero for a long time and have always followed their rules and guidelines. However, recently, they identified unusual activity on my account and temporarily disabled it. They asked me to provide certain information to verify my identity, which I did within the given timeframe. However, even after providing the required information, my account remains disabled.

I believe that I have been unfairly penalized, and Course Hero has not provided me with any clear explanation for their actions. They have not given me an opportunity to appeal their decision, and they have not provided me with any further information about the alleged activity on my account.

I request your intervention in this matter, and I urge you to investigate the way Course Hero treats their tutors. It is unfair to penalize hardworking tutors without giving them a chance to appeal their decisions or provide a clear explanation for their actions. I hope that you can take the necessary steps to ensure that Course Hero treats their tutors with the respect they deserve.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BE MINDFUL. COURSE HERO IS TRULY TURNING INTO A SCAM.

My account in Tutor was suddenly banned PERMANENTLY with my hard-earned money of more than $79 (from the last time I have seen it) and still expecting more than $25 to be received once accepted by my students. They have notified me that "We identified unusual activity on your Course Hero tutor account that violates our Terms of Use" in which I did not in any way. So as instructed, I went to submit the necessary information containing my government ID, a paper with my name, signature, and date of when I created the video, as well my registered email and number. And they responded with "After conducting a review of your tutor account, we identified activity that violates Course Hero’s Terms of Use. You also provided insufficient materials to verify your identity and/or failed to provide materials within the required timeframe. As a result, your account has been permanently disabled and you can no longer access Course Hero." Like WTF? I gave everything they asked to reactivate just 1 HOUR AFTER THEY NOTICED and didn't violate anything in their terms or anything. I contacted back their support team ([protected]@coursehero.com) and responded that it was final and will no longer be amended "Please note this decision is final, no further payment obligations are required by Course Hero, and for security reasons we can’t share any additional information". Clearly a TRUE SCAM when your earnings through this platform increase, they will do their best to rip you off it and just create a random scenario that you will that will unable you to get what you earned hard.

I have been with the platform now for more than 2 years as a tutor and user and just when you earned a lot, and before you can even withdraw your earnings, you get permanently banned for no apparent and valid reasons. SO DISAPPOINTING.

Dear Team,

Take this as escalation!

My account was disabled without no reason. When I asked the reason they send a random copy pest response without mentioning the reason for disabling my account. I have hard-earned $22 in my account and want my money back and also justify disabling my account.

How can they disable it without any prior notice or justification?

This is a disrespectful act to very basic human rights.

I want my money back and I want my account to reactivate so that I can withdraw my money and delete my account by myself.

Greetings, Ma'am/Sir.

I would like to inquire why is it that every time I open my Tutor Account (Course Hero Account) there are no questions appearing on my dashboard. Hence, I don't know if my account is already terminated/blocked because I haven't received any e-mails from Course Hero informing me that my account is already terminated and/or blocked. If so, why can I still open my account? If not, why there are no questions appearing on my dashboard?

I still would want to continue helping students in providing guidance on their homework, activities, and the likes that's why I check my Course Hero account from time to time but always ended up being dismayed for I can't answer any questions because no questions popping out in my account even after refreshing my account.

Hence, if possible, I want to know the reason why no questions on my dashboard. Moreover, I want to know if my account still active or not. If not, kindly inform me so I will know what to do next.

Thank you and more power.

Hello,

I was uploading a couple documents to earn an unlock and I accidentally uploaded something that had some of my personal information on it. By the time I realized and went to delete it the file was already accepted and it wouldn't allow me to delete it. If this file is not deleted it puts me at risk as my personal information is on there and it also puts my university at risk. I really need this deleted, please help.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue that I recently encountered on your platform. Today, I attempted to withdraw $25.50 from my CourseHero account, but during the processing, the page prompted me to refresh the page. Unfortunately, after refreshing the page, the money disappeared.

I have checked my PayPal account, but I have not received the money, which leads me to believe that the transaction did not go through.

This is very concerning, and I would appreciate it if you could look into the matter and provide me with an explanation of what went wrong.

So when I was trying to log in to my account (agentfang10488) from the login page a message says bad request, and when I find something that I upload (with another account) I go to the uploader and click in there. Then it sends me to the page not found and I can't do anything then I try to look for more things that I upload and they still in there https://www.coursehero.com/profile/AgentFang10488/

Hi,

I have tried to log in with my email and it says I have the wrong password/email. I tried resetting the password, but the reset password email doesn't come to my inbox. When I try to create an account it says that my email is already in use with a course hero account. Can you help me reset my account?

I have contacted Course Hero about this and I have not received any response about it.

Thank you!

Our professor has requested me to erase the files I submitted on Coursehero. All of the notes I received from my institution require the owner's permission. Furthermore, I wasn't able to check that the files I uploaded contained personal information and the full names of certain individuals from my university. I unintentionally published a few notes from my institution into Course Hero, and I must remove them right away to avoid further penalties from the university's management. I have sent complaints (take down notice) into course hero. Hoping for an immediate action as soon as possible.

Since February 19, 2023 I kept sending emails to you for re-enabling my account. But no one replied on my emails. I just want my account to re-enable again so that I can withdraw my hard earned money that was around $535+ . I am asking you nicely to bring my account and give me my money back. Please do so. Prove to us that your company is not scam or fraud. I know that I am not the only one who have this kind of concern. You don't know what I have been through since you locked my account. I really didn't violate any of your terms and conditions. The only thing I did was wrong verification number then you already locked my account. You sent me 2 emails saying that my account was unlocked already but after 2 minutes you permanently disabled it. How come? That's why fixed this issue a lot of us was complaining regarding this issue. Lastly, I really that money.

Thank you.

Here's my email address for my tutor account [protected]@gmail.com

Good Day!

I’m currently having a difficulties in my application process. I was able to submit all my requirements including the valid ID and I was able to reach out to the support team but I’m only receiving emails stating that my application is incomplete. When I click the link they provided it always say that my application was received. I don’t know how to fix it. Please help me out. Thank you so much.

I got an email from CourseHero on March 17, 2023, at 6:35 pm Central Time saying that they saw an unusual activity on my account and decided to disable it I have 48 hours to send in 3 items for verification so they can reactivate it. I've sent in those 3 items to both the replied email which is [protected]@email.coursehero.com and [protected]@coursehero.com.

Also asking why is it disabled.

Then Judy (agent from CourseHero) emailed me back on March 19, 2023, at 5:53 am Central Time saying that I have failed to send in those 3 items and she prematurely disabled my account. I found it very rude that she closed my account a lot sooner than the 48 hours timeframe that was promised and she didn't review my previous email. This is very unacceptable, especially with a generic reply email. From looking at outside forums and complaints, it seems like this is a common issue for the CourseHero team to disable an account even with the given verification documents. Please fix this

Hi my name is anas. I'm from Pakistan. My sister is working on course hero about 2 years. The course hero blocked her first account permanently without no reason. She face a serious economical problem. Now after one year the course hero again blocked her account permanently without no reason. I just want to say that please course hero return her account that is blocked on 19 march. Her name is samona zahid .

False Warning and Closure.

Dear CourseHero Support Team,

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the recent warning and temporary closure of my account due to alleged incorrect and incomplete answers. I received an email from your internal review team, stating that some of the answers I submitted were deemed incorrect and incomplete, which resulted in a warning and a temporary suspension of my account.

I strongly disagree with the results of the review, as I am confident that my answers were accurate and complete. I have been using CourseHero for a long time and have always provided high-quality answers to questions. I have received numerous positive reviews and feedback from other users, which is a testament to the quality of my work.

Therefore, I believe that the warning and temporary closure of my account are completely unjustified and invalid. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of transparency and communication from your team regarding this matter. I have tried to reach out to your support team, but have not received a satisfactory response.

I request that you review my answers again and reconsider your decision to temporarily close my account. I also urge you to provide more clarity and transparency in your review process, to prevent such situations from occurring in the future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Amisha bawa
