We have tried pinging Coursera website using our server and the website returned the above results. If coursera.org is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...

Can't Access Coursera - Troubleshooting Instructions

If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:

Browser Related Problems

  • Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
  • Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser : firefox chrome internet explorer

Fix DNS Problems

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.

  • Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
  • If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
  • Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on configure dnshow to change your DNS.

I can't get on at all, except on my blackberry

Naomi Silver · 28 March 2013 - 13:03

I can only get to my classes through previously bookmarked pages on my computer. Too bad it's impossible to reach anyone at Coursera to find out what's happening. They're not even responding to my post on their Facebook page about the issues I'm having.

Kevin Leeds · 28 March 2013 - 11:06

I submitted a quiz and got something like "There is a problem with the server, and we are working on it."

Gene Mountjoy · 28 March 2013 - 09:28

According to their home page, they are currently experiencing "server issues."

Gene Mountjoy · 28 March 2013 - 07:55

I am getting a HTTP 500 error when I attempt to log in. It is sort of responsive but not fully.

Fernando Guro · 28 March 2013 - 07:08

Ok.. it was working yesterday in IE. I get now a message "Internal Server Error". I hope they fix it soon.

Michael Toback · 28 March 2013 - 06:24

It says it's up but the response time it lists is in the 5-6 sec range and I'm still not even getting to the front page

Arun Ks · 27 March 2013 - 19:05

Bruno Ortiz Estupiñán · 27 March 2013 - 18:27

Fernando Guro · 27 March 2013 - 11:49

Ian Burke · 26 March 2013 - 17:57

Bruce Conner · 26 March 2013 - 15:04
