How to cancel Course Hero

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Course Hero — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Course Hero bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel Course Hero in 6 steps

  1. Sign in at coursehero.com from a web browser (cancel where you subscribed).
  2. Open 'Account Settings' → 'Membership' / 'Subscription'.
  3. Select 'Cancel Membership' / turn off recurring billing (you may be routed through retention offers).
  4. Decline the discount offers and confirm.
  5. Cancel before your renewal date — plans auto-renew and some are prepaid terms.
  6. Get a cancellation confirmation and keep it.

What happens after you cancel

Course Hero auto-renews (often as a prepaid term) and is known for making cancellation easy to miss — cancel well before your renewal date and keep the confirmation. You keep access until the end of the current term. No refund for the current period is typical.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Course Hero is billed on its website. If you subscribed through an app store, cancel there instead.

Charged after cancelling Course Hero?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Course Hero — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Course Hero charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Course Hero keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Course Hero.
Does cancelling Course Hero delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Course Hero's settings.
How do I know my Course Hero cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Course Hero and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
