Do learners lose access immediately when I cancel?

No. All learners retain full access to their courses, learning paths, and earned certificates through the end of the current paid billing period. Access terminates at midnight on the last day of the subscription term.

Can I get a refund after canceling a Coursera for Business plan?

Coursera offers refunds only within 14 days of the initial payment for Teams plans. After that window, fees are non-refundable. Enterprise (custom contract) customers should review their specific agreement, as enterprise fees are generally described as non-refundable and non-cancelable.

How do I reactivate a canceled Coursera for Business plan?

Log back into the admin portal at coursera.org/admin, go to Settings → Billing, and select a new plan or reactivate the previous one. Your historical learner progress and completion data is retained and will be accessible upon reactivation.

What happens to learner progress and certificates after cancellation?

Learner course progress, completion records, and earned certificates remain stored in Coursera's system. Certificates already issued remain valid and accessible to learners via their individual accounts even after the business subscription ends.

Can I cancel mid-cycle to avoid the next billing charge?

Yes. Cancel any time before the renewal date to prevent the next charge. Your team's access will continue through the already-paid billing period. There are no early termination fees for monthly Teams plans; annual plans are paid in full upfront and are non-refundable past the 14-day window.

What if I only want to reduce the number of seats, not cancel entirely?

In the admin dashboard under Settings → Billing, you can adjust the number of licensed seats. Seat reductions typically take effect at the next renewal date. This is also an option Coursera may present during the cancellation flow as an alternative to full cancellation.
