Side-by-side comparison of cancellations, conditions, and cancellation steps.·Last updated: 2026-10-12
Cancellation Steps
Coursera Plus
- Log into your Coursera account.
- Go to your Purchases.
- Under the 'Subscriptions' tab, find your Coursera Plus subscription and click 'Cancel subscription'.
- To get the annual-plan refund, go to Purchases → Purchase History, click 'Request refund' under 'Payment Status', then click 'Yes, cancel and get a refund' (within 14 days of payment).
LinkedIn Learning
- On a desktop, click your profile photo in the upper-right corner of your Learning homepage.

- Click 'Manage Premium account' on the right-hand side.
- Click 'Cancel subscription' and complete the remaining steps.
- Alternatively: profile photo > Purchases & Payments > Purchases > Actions > Cancel Subscription, then confirm in the pop-up.
Cancellation Methods
Coursera Plus
- Website via My Purchases page
- Coursera mobile app (for subscriptions started on the web)
- Apple App Store or Google Play (for subscriptions started in the mobile app)
LinkedIn Learning
- online (desktop only — not available in the Learning mobile apps)
Third-Party Billing
Coursera Plus
- If you started your subscription in the Coursera mobile app, it is managed by Apple or Google Play; cancel it there, not on Coursera.org.
- For purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, that store's refund policy applies and Coursera cannot process the refund.
LinkedIn Learning
- If you purchased your subscription through the LinkedIn iOS app, contact Apple for cancellations and refunds.
Reactivation & Data Retention
Coursera Plus
- Your course progress and grades are saved after you cancel; to restart, upgrade to the paid version of your course.
LinkedIn Learning
Not available
Additional Notes
Coursera Plus
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to Coursera Plus content for the remainder of that period; after that, courses switch to preview mode.
- Canceling stops future payments but doesn't refund past payments; refunds must be requested separately.
- Certificates earned during the 14-day refund window are no longer accessible if you get a refund for the annual plan.
- Coursera Plus subscriptions don't auto-cancel when you finish your courses, and subscriptions can't be paused.
- Refunds, when approved, may take 7–10 business days to appear in your account.
LinkedIn Learning
- Cancellation ends billing; you lose Learning features at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly renewal date, or end of the year for annual subscriptions).
- You keep your completed courses to add to your profile, but paid course content is no longer available after the billing cycle ends.
- Canceling a LinkedIn Premium subscription also removes your access to LinkedIn Learning.
- If you were on a plan, promotion or price that is no longer offered, you can't re-purchase it at that price.
- If you cancel a free Premium trial, you won't be eligible for another free trial for at least 12 months.
