You can earn Course Hero Unlocks for free by uploading your original study materials and documents to help others learn. When you upload your material, you'll receive 5 Unlocks for every 10 successful uploads. Any Unlocks you earn are good for 30 days and can be used to view and download full Course Hero documents.
For every paid membership option, you'll get 30 Unlocks per month, starting on your subscription date. Your Unlocks will refresh every month from the original registration date, and unused Unlocks don't carry over. You may purchase additional Unlocks once you run out, as long as you have a Premier Membership.
Taking advantage of Course Hero's resources to supplement your studies, enhance your understanding of a topic, or expand your resume skills is not cheating. Taking the initiative to get the help you need or explore new topics is important and critical for future success.
Course Hero does not notify your school because their services are confidential and they have no affiliation to any university. However, if your school uses Turnitin to check the originality of students' assignments, your tutor could detect if you copied a resource word-for-word from Course Hero.
