2. How to Enroll in Courses (Free Audit vs. Verified Track)

When enrolling in a course on edX, you can choose between two main tracks depending on your learning goals:

Understanding Enrollment Tracks

• Free Audit Track (Free Course Access): Choose this option to access lecture videos, course readings, and discussion forums for free during the course session. It is ideal if you just want to learn without needing a certificate.
• Verified Track (Paid Certificate): Pay a course fee to gain unlimited access to course materials, graded assignments, exams, and an official verified certificate signed by the university or institution upon completion.
