<h2>Getting Help</h2>
<articleclass="response">
<h3class="question">Getting help.</h3>
<divclass="answer"id="classes_faq_answer_10">
<p>You have a vibrant, global community of fellow online learners available 24-7 to help with the course within the framework of the Honor Code, as well as support from the TAs who monitor the course. Take a look at the course’s Discussion Forum where you can review questions, answers and comments from fellow online learners, as well as post a question.</p>
<p>Good news: there are unlimited "mulligans" in edX. You may re-take edX courses as often as you wish. Your performance in any particular offering of a course will not effect your standing in future offerings of any edX course, including future offerings of the same course.</p>

<h3class="question">Enrollment for a course that I am interested in is open, but the course has already started. Can I still enroll?</h3>
<p>Yes, but you will not be able to turn in any assignments or exams that have already been due. If it is early in the course, you might still be able to earn enough points for a certificate, but you will have to check with the course in question in order to find out more.</p>

<h3class="question">Is there an exam at the end?</h3>
<p>Different courses have slightly different structures. Please check the course material description to see if there is a final exam or final project.</p>

<articleclass="response">
<h3class="question">Will the same courses be offered again in the future?</h3>
<p>Online learners who receive a passing grade for a course will receive a certificate of mastery from edX and the underlying X University that offered the course. For example, a certificate of mastery for MITx’s 6.002x Circuits & Electronics will come from edX and MITx.</p>

<h3class="question">How are edX certificates delivered?</h3>
<p>EdX certificates are delivered online through edx.org. So be sure to check your email in the weeks following the final grading – you will be able to download and print your certificate.</p>

<h3class="question">What is the difference between a proctored certificate and an honor code certificate?</h3>
<p>A proctored certificate is given to students who take and pass an exam under proctored conditions. An honor-code certificate is given to students who have completed all of the necessary online coursework associated with a course and have signed <link> the edX honor code </link>.</p>
</div>
</article>
<articleclass="response">
<h3class="question">Yes. The requirements for both certificates can be independently satisfied.</h3>
<p>It is certainly possible to pass an edX course if you miss a week; however, coursework is progressive, so you should review and study what you may have missed. You can check your progress dashboard in the course to see your course average along the way if you have any concerns.</p>
