This article includes instructions for how you can check to see what email address is registered to your Udemy account, or if you have created more than one account. The troubleshooting steps below may be helpful if you’re encountering login issues, or if you’re having trouble finding courses you enrolled in.

How to confirm what email address you have registered with Udemy

If you’re logged into your Udemy account.

• If you are logged into your Udemy account, you can check to see what email address you registered by navigating to your account settings page. 
• If you’re using the Udemy mobile app, tap Account at the bottom-right of your device’s screen to see your account’s email address.

Missing course tip: if you recently signed up to Udemy and enrolled in a course, but you didn’t receive a confirmation email, this could indicate an error was made when you entered your email address. 

• Check the email address that is listed in the Email section of your account settings and carefully review it to make sure no typo was made by mistake when you created your account. 
• If an error was made, our system would have attempted sending your confirmation email to the incorrect address. Provided the enrollment went through, however, your course should be available in your My Courses page.
• If your email address was incorrectly entered, you can update your Udemy account’s email address and then log in moving forward with that address.
• If the email address was incorrectly entered, and the address you want to enter is already assigned to another Udemy account you created, then please submit a merge account request.

If you’re not logged into your Udemy account

• Try a password reset: If you can’t remember what email address you used to sign up to Udemy, and therefore, you can’t log in, try resetting your account’s password by entering different email addresses you use. Be sure to check your junk/spam mail folder for your password reset email.
• Check all your email accounts for confirmation emails from Udemy: when you enroll in a course, a confirmation email from udemy@email.udemy.com is sent to the email address registered to your Udemy account. Be sure to also check your junk/spam mail folder.

1. 1. Try logging into Udemy using the email address you received the confirmation email in. 
   2. If you can’t remember the password you used to sign up, initiate a password reset for your Udemy account.

Missing course tip: if you find emails from Udemy in more than one of your email accounts, this could indicate that you have more than one, active, Udemy account. The course you’re looking for could be registered to one of your other accounts. .

Did you create your Udemy account using the Apple, Google or Facebook sign up option?

Encountering login issues?

Review troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve common login issues.

This article explains what login alert notifications are and when you may receive these emails from Udemy. 

• Learn more about keeping your account secure.

What are login alert notifications? And when are they sent?

When our system detects suspicious or inconsistent behavior, there are a few ways our system will respond, including sending an alert notification to confirm if a login was authorized by you. For example, if our system detects a login from a new device, or a login in a new region, Udemy will send you an alert notification to let you know.

What do the login alert notifications say?

The emails Udemy sends will come from the no-reply-alert@e.udemymail.com email address, and include a subject line noting that it is a login alert notification. The notification will include what browser and operating system the login was detected on, and the time it happened, according to our systems/records.

What should you do if you believe your account was accessed by someone else?

If you receive an alert notification for a login you didn’t initiate, and you suspect your account was accessed by someone else, we strongly recommend changing your password immediately.

The Udemy mobile app language is determined by the language that is set for your mobile device, and not the language that’s set for your Udemy account.

In order to view one language uniformly across the platforms, the languages for your mobile device and Udemy account must be the same.

When a matching translation is not available the app will default to English or, if available, your second language preference.

As you enroll in more-and-more Udemy courses, you may find that you want to organize the courses in your My learning section. By utilizing our Lists feature, you can easily organize your Udemy courses in a variety of ways and plan your learning accordingly. 

Please note:

• This article explains the Lists feature for individual course enrollments and may not fully apply to all our product offerings. 
• Creating and selecting lists is only available while accessing Udemy on a browser and not on the Udemy mobile app.

Lists

By using the Lists feature, you’ll be able to organize courses into lists based on category, projects or learning goals that you create.

For example, if you’re enrolled in several courses related to web development, you could create a list named "Web Development", and assign related courses to it.

You can create a new list, and assign courses to it, by following these steps:

1. While accessing Udemy on a browser, click on My learning at the top right of the page.
2. Click on the vertical ellipses at the top right of the course card.
3. Move your cursor to Create New List and click on it.
4. Name the list and add a description.
5. Click Create.
6. The course will be assigned to that list.

Adding courses to existing lists

You can add courses to lists you've already created by following these steps:

1. Click on the vertical ellipses at the top right of the course card.
2. Lists you have created will appear.
3. Click on the list name you would like the course added to. 

You can also add a course to multiple lists if you wish, by selecting additional list names, when you click on the course card's vertical ellipses. If a course has been added to a list, a checkmark will appear by the list name. 

Please note: archived courses cannot be added to existing lists. If you would like to add an archived course to a list, please unarchive the course first. 

When you hover your cursor above a course on your My learning page, it will show how many lists the course has been added to.

Removing a course from a list

If you wish to remove a course from a list, then please follow these steps:

1. Click on the vertical ellipses at the top right of the course card.
2. Click on the list name where the checkmark appears.
3. The course will be removed from that list.

Editing or deleting a list

You can quickly edit a list name and description, or delete it altogether.

To edit a list name, simply click on the edit pencil icon, which appears beside the list’s title. The option to edit the name or description will appear. To delete the list, click on the garbage can icon that appears beside the edit pencil icon. 

Please note: deleting a list cannot be undone. The courses that were included in the list, however, will remain active in your account.
