See courses you're enrolled in

Once you’re enrolled in a course, you’ll see it on your Coursera home page while logged in. Click In Progress or Completed to see all of the courses in those categories.

If you enroll in a paid option for any course in a Specialization, you'll see all courses in the Specialization on your Coursera home page even if you haven't enrolled in or paid for them.

Completing a course

After completing a paid course, you won’t have access to the course’s paid content after that payment expires. You’ll retain access to the free version of the course, which includes downloading videos and transcripts.

After completing a free course, you’ll have access to the same course content that you did during the course.

Retake a course

If you need to retake a course, any progress you've made carries over. You can’t reset progress in a course, but some quizzes and assignments will allow you to retake them. We’ll save your highest grade.

If you have an issue with a grade on an assignment you can’t retake, reach out to your instructor to request an override.
