How to Cancel Coursera Plus

Need to cancel your Coursera Plus subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Coursera's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.

Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Coursera Plus features until the end of your current billing period. You'll retain access to courses you've already enrolled in, but won't be able to access graded assignments or certificates without upgrading again.

Step 1: Sign in to Your Coursera Account

Go to www.coursera.org and sign in with your Coursera account credentials.

Step 2: Access Account Settings

Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Go to Subscriptions

In the Settings page, click on "Subscriptions" in the left sidebar, or directly visit www.coursera.org/account-settings/subscriptions.

Step 4: Find Coursera Plus Subscription

Locate your "Coursera Plus" subscription. You'll see your current plan details and next billing date.

Step 5: Manage Subscription

Click "Manage subscription" or "Manage" next to your Coursera Plus subscription. This will open the subscription management page.

Step 6: Cancel Subscription

Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel". Coursera will show you information about when your Plus access will end.

Step 7: Confirm Cancellation

Review the cancellation details carefully. Coursera may show you benefits you'll lose. If you want to proceed, click "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation email.

Troubleshooting

I can't find the Cancel button

• Make sure you're signed in to the correct Coursera account
• Try accessing the subscriptions page directly: www.coursera.org/account-settings/subscriptions
• Look for "Subscriptions" in Settings, not "Billing" or "Payment"
• Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again

I subscribed through a third party

If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system:

• Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Coursera
• Google Play: Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > Coursera

I want to pause instead of cancel

Coursera Plus doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your course progress.

I'm being charged after cancellation

• Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
• Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
• Make sure you clicked "Cancel subscription" and confirmed
• Contact Coursera Support if charges continue after the cancellation date

What happens to my enrolled courses?

You'll retain access to courses you've already enrolled in, but:

• You won't be able to access graded assignments
• You won't be able to earn certificates
• You won't have access to new Plus-only courses
• Download course materials before cancellation if you want offline access

What happens to my certificates?

Certificates you've already earned will remain accessible. However, you won't be able to earn new certificates without upgrading to Coursera Plus again.

Additional Information

• Reactivation: You can reactivate Coursera Plus anytime by visiting www.coursera.org/courseraplus or through Account Settings > Subscriptions
• Course Access: You'll retain access to enrolled courses, but graded assignments and certificates require Plus
• Download Materials: Download course materials before cancellation if you want offline access
• Certificates: Certificates you've already earned remain accessible
• Third-Party Subscriptions: If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform

Conclusion

You've successfully canceled your Coursera Plus subscription! You'll continue to have access to Plus features until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll lose access to Plus content and be downgraded to Free tier.

Your enrolled courses remain accessible, but you'll need Plus to access graded assignments and earn certificates. If you need help, Coursera Support is available through the Help Center.
