How to know it worked

  • A paid plan stays on until the end of the current billing period.
  • The My Plans page says a free-trial cancel keeps access until the trial ends, and you are not billed.

Watch out for

  • Monthly, quarterly, every six months, and annual plans all renew until you cancel. You will not get a notice that a free trial has ended.
  • One FAQ answer says cancelling during a free trial ends the membership immediately, and that you should cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. The My Plans page and another FAQ answer say trial access lasts until the trial ends. Cancel early either way.
  • A price change takes effect after they email you.

The Great Courses refunds

  • Subscription payments are not refunded, including unused days. They may still issue a credit at their discretion.
  • A single video bought from the shop can be returned within 30 days of the purchase date.

Cancelling The Great Courses

What people ask about The Great Courses.

How do I cancel The Great Courses?

On the website, open My Account and click Cancel membership. If an app or a TV store billed you, cancel it there. Mail goes to The Teaching Company Sales, LLC, 4840 Westfields Blvd., Suite 400, Chantilly, VA 20151-2299.

Will I get a reminder before it renews?

Only on a quarterly, half-year, or annual plan. A monthly plan bills again with no monthly reminder.

Can you cancel The Great Courses without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to The Great Courses 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.
