Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
Subscription refunds are not provided except where required by law, after an upgrade you wish to cancel, or in limited promotional cases. Annual subscriptions paid in full must be cancelled within 14 days to receive a refund. Refunds are not provided for annual renewal charges. Canceling stops future billing and does not automatically issue a refund. App Store and other marketplace purchases follow that marketplace's refund policy.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
Access lasts through the current paid period. Certificates already earned remain. To change a Coursera Plus plan, official help says cancel the current subscription, wait until the billing period ends, then restart on the other plan.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Official Coursera cancel help states it is not currently possible to pause a subscription. Progress is saved if you cancel.
What happens to my account data?
Canceling does not delete the Coursera account. Course progress is saved when you cancel a subscription.
