Cancellation guide

How to cancel Coursera Plus

A clear, step-by-step guide to cancelling your Coursera Plus Software, plus the things worth checking before you leave.

Before you cancel

  • There's no fixed contract, so you can cancel anytime. Your access simply runs to the end of the period you've paid for.
  • Expect to be offered a retention discount or loyalty deal to make you stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, stand your ground.
  • Cancel before your next renewal date to avoid being charged for another period.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google or another provider, you must cancel with them, not Coursera Plus directly.
  • Get a confirmation (on-screen or by email) and keep it as proof of the date you cancelled.

How to cancel Coursera Plus, step by step

  1. Log in to coursera.org and open your account menu (top right), then go to 'My Purchases'.
  2. Open the 'Subscriptions' tab and find your Coursera Plus subscription. Note the date of your next charge before you cancel.
  3. Click the 'Cancel subscription' link next to your Coursera Plus plan.
  4. Confirm the cancellation.
  5. You keep full access to the included content until the end of the current billing period; Course Certificates you earned stay in your account and in-progress work is saved for if you re-subscribe.
