Follow these four useful tips:

1. Check junk mail - sadly some email providers may treat automated email as spam. 
2. Check your browser settings ... you may need to trust cookies (or possibly cross-site cookies) from NetAcad
3. Do not be afraid to try a different email account - if the system isn't working, try another email account - often popular free email accounts work better.
4. Maybe try a different web browser?
