Course Hero monthly subscriptions range from approximately $10 to $40. Unfortunately, not everyone has the resources to pay for a monthly plan, especially if they have a tight budget.

Upload Documents

Course Hero is dedicated to connecting learners with valuable information and has a free unlocking system. After uploading the original study documents, the platform grants you access to other materials for free. For every 10 uploads, Course Hero will reward you with five unlocks. You can upload materials to the learning platform using your Windows PC or Mac.

Here’s what you need to do to upload files to Course Hero on a Windows computer:

1. Head to the Course Hero web page and log into your free account.
   
2. Find the blurred document you want to access and tap to open it.
   
3. Click on the pink “View Full Document” button.
   
4. Press the “Continue to Access” button.
   
5. Course Hero will now display the subscription options that unlock the file. Navigate to the bottom of the page and select the “Upload Your Study Document” option.
   
6. Press the “Desktop” button and select the documents you want to upload to the site.
   

Note that it may take Course Hero up to 24 hours to analyze and process your uploads. Once it completes the process, the platform will credit the materials to your account, allowing you to unblur five study materials.

Return to the upload page if the 24-hour processing period has elapsed and you still haven’t received the free unlocks. The platform marks each successful upload as “Accepted.” Unsuccessful submissions appear as “Decline: Duplicate.” The site only accepts original content, and its system eliminates study materials that have already been added to the site.

Always submit original notes to ensure all your uploads go through smoothly.

It usually takes the platform up to 24 hours to scan and process the uploads. If the timeframe has elapsed and you didn’t earn the unlocks, head back to the upload page. You’ll see a list of all the materials you’ve submitted. Successful submissions will appear as “Accepted,” while rejected documents will show up as “Duplicate: Declined.” Course Hero features a rigorous scanning system that eliminates content already uploaded to the site. Always double-check that the materials you’re submitting are unique to ensure the uploads go through without issues.

Reviewing materials is another way you can access restricted content on Course Hero. The site values users’ feedback and uses it to assess how helpful the available resources are.

Create a Quiz

The site offers another unlocking hack. Creating quizzes is relatively quick and allows you to see more hidden answers and materials. Note that before making a quiz, you must unlock at least three documents. You can meet this requirement by uploading original notes or reviewing uploaded resources.
