By Impran M N
Free trials are a great way to explore Coursera, but forgetting to cancel before the trial period ends can lead to an unexpected charge. This covers accessing your account, finding the subscription settings, and confirming the cancellation in time.
01Access your Coursera account
Sign in and go to the account area where your free trial details are listed.
02Navigate to subscription settings
Find the section that shows your active trial and the option to manage or cancel it.
03Confirm your cancellation
Follow through the cancellation prompts to make sure the trial won't convert into a paid subscription.
04Double-check you won't be charged
Review your account status afterward to confirm the trial is canceled and no charge is scheduled.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know when my Coursera free trial ends?
Check your account or the confirmation you received when starting the trial for the exact end date.
Can I still access courses after canceling the trial?
Canceling stops the trial from converting into a paid plan; access to subscription-only content typically ends once the trial period is over.
What if I already got charged before canceling?
If a charge already went through, you'd need to look into Coursera's billing or refund process separately from the cancellation steps.
Is canceling a free trial the same as canceling a paid subscription?
The general process is similar, since both involve accessing your subscription settings and confirming the cancellation.
