How to know it worked

  • Cancelling stops future payments. It does not refund past payments.
  • You keep the included content until the current payment period ends. After that, course access switches to preview mode.
  • Coursera Plus does not cancel itself when you finish the courses. A Specialization or Professional Certificate subscription does, once you complete everything in it.

Watch out for

  • Coursera Plus monthly is $59/month. The monthly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and Coursera stores your card. Cancel before the trial ends or the monthly price is charged.
  • An annual Coursera Plus payment has 14 days for a refund request. Certificates earned in those 14 days are revoked if you get that refund.
  • Starting Coursera Plus does not cancel a Specialization subscription you already have. Cancel that one too, or both keep billing.
  • Coursera says you cannot pause a subscription. Cancel it instead. Grades and finished assessments stay.
  • The terms say the United States does not add a longer refund window beyond Coursera's own trial period.

Coursera refunds

  • Cancelling stops later bills. It does not automatically refund a charge. Ask for the refund separately.
  • For a monthly plan, cancel before the free trial ends if you do not want the first charge.
  • For annual Coursera Plus, request the refund on My Purchases within 14 days of payment. Renewal charges on an annual plan are not refunded.
  • Coursera says to allow 7 to 10 business days for a refund to show.
  • If you paid through a third-party marketplace, such as the Apple App Store, that marketplace's refund rules apply. Coursera does not process that refund.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Our letter comes with a receipt. This is when it is worth having us do it.

Have us cancel Coursera

  • You cannot log in, or do not remember the email

    The notice goes to Coursera in Mountain View in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • The 7-day trial turned into a monthly charge

    The notice dates the cancellation. That is the record you need if the trial ended and the $59 charge went through.

  • You were charged after cancelling

    The dated notice and proof of delivery are what your bank asks for when you dispute the charge.

  • You are paying for Plus and a Specialization

    The notice can name both subscriptions. Starting Plus does not cancel the other one.

  • You would rather not chase support

    We post and email the notice, then follow up with Coursera until they confirm. If they never do, you get your money back.

Cancelling Coursera

What people ask about Coursera.

How much is Coursera Plus?

Coursera's Plus page lists it at $59/month. Monthly payments include a 7-day free trial. An annual payment can be refunded within 14 days of payment.

I cancelled Coursera Plus but I was still charged. What now?

You keep access, and the charge for the current period can still stand. The next bill should stop if you cancelled before the period ended. A monthly trial must be cancelled before it ends. Check My Purchases, then contact Learner Support or send a dated notice.

Can I get a refund from Coursera?

The annual Plus plan can be refunded within 14 days of payment, from My Purchases. Monthly plans need to be cancelled during the 7-day trial to avoid the charge. Outside those cases, Coursera says subscription refunds are not provided except where the law requires one. Allow 7 to 10 business days.

Does cancelling Plus delete my course progress?

No. Grades and completed assessments stay. When the payment period ends, course access switches to preview mode. Certificates you earned stay in your Certificates tab.

Can you cancel Coursera Plus without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Coursera Plus in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
