What happens after cancellation

  • Individual courses you bought outright stay in your library forever.

  • Personal Plan / Business subscription courses become unavailable at period end.

  • Course progress, notes, and certificates are preserved.

  • You can re-buy specific subscription courses individually if you really wanted to keep them.

Will I lose my data, playlists, or history?

Udemy retains your account, owned courses, course progress, certificates, and notes indefinitely. Purchased courses stay in your library forever; subscription courses lock at cancellation. Lifetime access is genuinely lifetime for paid courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Are my purchased Udemy courses lost when I cancel Personal Plan?

No. Courses you bought outright are yours forever, separate from any subscription. Only subscription-only courses lock at cancellation. Check your library to see which courses you own vs which you access via subscription.

Q2Can I get a refund on a Udemy course I bought?

Yes — Udemy offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on individual course purchases. Go to the course page > click Refund this Course. No questions asked within 30 days. After 30 days, refunds are at instructor discretion.

Q3Should I switch to Udemy Personal Plan if I'm taking many courses?

Personal Plan ($20/mo) is worth it if you'd otherwise buy 2+ courses per month at sale prices. If you buy 1 course every few months, individual purchases at sale prices ($9.99-$14.99) are cheaper.

Q4Can I download Udemy courses for offline viewing?

Yes, the Udemy mobile app supports offline downloads. Downloaded videos remain playable in the app for ~30 days after cancellation. Note that downloads expire even with active subscription — Udemy refreshes them periodically.
