Course Hero-specific things to know

A few things that might affect your Course Hero cancellation.

Access continues until billing period ends
You can still use Course Hero until your paid period expires, even after cancelling. Check your account for the exact end date.
No partial refunds available
Course Hero doesn't offer prorated refunds if you cancel mid-cycle. Time your cancellation to avoid wasting paid days.
Mobile app cancellation differs

Good to know

Quick notes before you cancel.

1. Check who's billing you

Make sure Course Hero is actually charging you directly. If you signed up through an app store, you'll need to cancel there instead.

2. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the Course Hero app from your phone won't stop your subscription charges. You need to actively cancel through the proper method.

3. Note your subscription end date

Check when your current billing period ends so you know exactly when your access will expire after cancelling.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost, you might want to explore these alternatives first.

Downgrade to a basic plan

  • Premier Plan - Unlimited access and tutoring

Switch Your Billing Cycle
