Who is a “Not enrolled” user?

Users who have ONLY SIGNED UP on the upGrad website and not enrolled in any program are “Non-enrolled” users.

My friend missed applying my referral code

How to Use

How can I refer my friends/connections?

Visit upgrad.com/referandearn

 

If you have already signed up with upGrad, either enter your friend’s email ID who you would like to refer or simply share the referral invite link with them.

 

If you haven’t yet signed up with upGrad, do that first and then follow the above mentioned step.

Where can I find my code?

For enrolled learners, follow the below steps to find your code:

 

  • Login to the learn platform and navigate to the drop down available on the top right corner.
  • You will see the “Refer and Earn” option in the account section. Share the referral code with your friend/connection or drop their email or invite them using the referral invite link.

 

For not enrolled learners, follow the below steps to find your code:

 

  • Visit the upGrad website and navigate to the “Refer and Earn” tab in the “more” option on the top panel of the website.
  • Share the referral code with your friend/connection or drop their email or invite them using the referral invite link.
  • The referral code once entered by the friend who has blocked the seat and has enrolled with upGrad, cannot be modified/changed. In this case, the learner is not entitled to any referral reimbursements. (Please note:- If the referral code once entered by a friend is incorrect, the policy remains the same).

Payouts

When can you expect to receive a reimburement?

Enrolled user -

Once the form is filled out by you, we take 40 working days to process the amount.

 

Not Enrolled user -

Once the referee meets eligibility criteria mentioned in policy , our team will reach out to you asking for your bank details by filling a form through referral@upgrad.com

I have still not received my referral reimbursement.

That could be because -

 

  • The referee has not used your code.
  • The referee’s batch has not yet started.
  • The referee has not paid the full fees for the course.
  • Your referral code applied by your friend has been blocked
