Your MITx Online Dashboard and the MITx Online courseware will always indicate that DEDP courses are being taken on the "Audit" track—they will never show your "Paid" status for DEDP courses. For instance, your DEDP courses on MITx Online will report that "You are enrolled in the audit track for this course. The audit track does not include a certificate" even if you have paid for the course—this is expected behavior, and is a consequence of the unique DEDP payment system.
Because the DEDP MicroMasters program uses a special Personal Pricing and payment system, all DEDP program information—including Paid status, Proctored Exam attempts, Course Certificates, and the Program Credential—is stored on the MicroMasters Portal Dashboard only.
In order to check the Paid status for your DEDP courses, you must visit your MicroMasters Portal Dashboard. This is also the only location from which you may submit payment for DEDP courses. As long as your payment is reflected on the MicroMasters Portal Dashboard, you will have all the benefits of paid enrollment and you will receive your course certificates and program credential when you pass the courses and proctored exams.
