Do it yourself
Cancel edX yourself
TLDR: Open Orders and subscriptions, then Manage my subscription, and click Cancel plan before the renewal date. A free trial has to be cancelled before it ends or the first fee is charged, and a period already started is not promised back.
Cancel a personal subscription
You subscribed as an individual, not through an employer contract.
- 01Open Account settings.
- 02Select Orders and subscriptions, then Manage my subscription.
- 03On the payment processor page, click Cancel plan.
The cancel has to arrive before the renewal date, or the next period is charged. A free trial has to be cancelled before the trial ends, or the first fee is charged. More help is info@edx.org. The contact line writes that address as info@edX.org.
Cancel a plan bought on the business page
You bought it on the edX for Business or edX Enterprise page.
- 01In the Enterprise Admin Dashboard, select Manage Subscription.
- 02In the billing portal, click Cancel.
A plan an employer bought under its own contract is not cancelled this way. That contract governs it.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper. The terms say the service is offered from this office.
- 01Write that you are cancelling, and include the email on the account.
- 02Mail it to edX LLC, 2345 Crystal Drive, Suite 1100, Arlington, VA 22202.
How to know it worked
- A subscription renews for the same length unless you cancel or they end it.
- The fee, the length, and any free trial are the ones shown when you subscribed.
- If you cancel during a free trial, certificate access lasts until the trial ends. After a paid cancel, certificate access lasts until the current period ends. They can then move you to the free audit track.
Watch out for
- A bad card can suspend the subscription. They can unenroll you, and progress in those courses can be lost.
- Course fees other than the subscription are not refunded except under their refund policy or the law. The terms do not print that refund policy here.
- A degree program is run by the school, not by these subscription steps.
edX refunds
- The subscription section does not promise a refund of a period already started. Cancelling before renewal stops the next charge.
