How to Cancel Udemy Personal Plan
Need to cancel your Udemy Personal Plan subscription? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Udemy's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.
Important: This guide is for canceling the Udemy Personal Plan subscription (monthly unlimited access). This is different from purchasing individual courses. If you purchased courses individually, those remain yours permanently and don't require cancellation.
Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Personal Plan courses until the end of your current billing period. Courses you purchased individually will remain accessible permanently.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Udemy Account
Go to www.udemy.com and sign in with your Udemy account credentials.
Step 2: Access Account Settings
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "My learning" or "Account" from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Go to Subscriptions
In the Account or My learning page, look for "Subscriptions" or "Manage subscriptions" in the left sidebar. Alternatively, you can directly visit www.udemy.com/user/edit-subscriptions.
Step 4: Find Personal Plan Subscription
Locate your "Udemy Personal Plan" subscription. You'll see your subscription details and next billing date. Make sure you're looking at the Personal Plan subscription, not individual course purchases.
Step 5: Cancel Subscription
Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel" next to your Personal Plan subscription. Udemy will show you information about when your Personal Plan access will end.
Step 6: Confirm Cancellation
Review the cancellation details carefully. Udemy 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 Udemy account
- Make sure you're looking at Personal Plan subscription, not individual course purchases
- Try accessing the subscriptions page directly: www.udemy.com/user/edit-subscriptions
- Look for "Subscriptions" in Account settings, not "My learning" or "Purchases"
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
I don't see Personal Plan subscription
If you don't see a Personal Plan subscription, you may have:
- Purchased courses individually (these don't require cancellation)
- Already canceled your subscription
- Subscribed through a different account
What's the difference between Personal Plan and individual purchases?
- Personal Plan: Monthly subscription providing unlimited access to thousands of courses. Requires cancellation to stop recurring charges.
- Individual Purchases: One-time purchases of specific courses. These are yours permanently and don't require cancellation.
I want to pause instead of cancel
Udemy Personal Plan doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your account.
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 canceled the Personal Plan subscription, not just individual courses
- Contact Udemy Support if charges continue after the cancellation date
What happens to my courses?
- Personal Plan courses: You'll lose access to these after your subscription expires
- Individually purchased courses: These remain accessible permanently, no cancellation needed
Can I still access my purchased courses?
Yes! Courses you purchased individually (not through Personal Plan) will remain accessible permanently. Only Personal Plan subscription access will end.
Additional Information
- Reactivation: You can reactivate Udemy Personal Plan anytime by visiting www.udemy.com/personal-plan or through Account Settings > Subscriptions
- Individual Purchases: Courses purchased individually remain accessible permanently
- Personal Plan Courses: Access to Personal Plan courses ends when subscription expires
- Difference: Personal Plan is a subscription; individual purchases are one-time purchases
- Account: Your account and learning progress remain saved
Conclusion
You've successfully canceled your Udemy Personal Plan subscription! You'll continue to have access to Personal Plan courses until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll lose access to Personal Plan content.
Remember: Courses you purchased individually remain yours permanently and don't require cancellation. If you need help, Udemy Support is available through the Help Center.
