campuses are using Coursera for online learning
Duke University
“Coursera helped us make a quick online pivot when the Duke Kunshan University campus closed due to the epidemic. Faculty benefited from access to high-quality courseware and students dived right into learning new skills on their own.”
Matthew Rascoff
Associate Vice Provost, Digital Education & Innovation, Duke Learning Innovation
Covenant University
“Coursera enabled us to leapfrog into the future by providing ready-to-go infrastructure for online learning. It would have taken us two or three years to create an equivalent offering on our own.”
Dr. Ada Peter
Director, International Offices and Linkages Covenant University

Starting on October 1, 2020, and over the following week, admin accounts will migrate to a Coursera for Campus Basic plan account. Students will have two months to finish any courses that they had enrolled in on or prior to September 30, 2020, after which students will be unenrolled from any courses they have not completed. If you are interested in continuing to have access to our unlimited catalog of courses, please consider upgrading to our enterprise-level Institution plan.
In response to COVID-19, we launched the Coursera Campus Response Initiative on March 12, 2020, and it ended on September 30, 2020. In an effort to continue supporting universities and colleges in educating their students, we have launched a new Basic plan option for Coursera for Campus beginning October 1, 2020. This new plan is a long-term, free offering for universities and colleges globally. We look forward to continuing to offer assistance to our fellow educators and deliver on our mission and promise to help students everywhere get access to the world’s best education.
You can learn more and sign up for the Coursera for Campus Student plan. As an individual university or college student, you have access to unlimited Guided Projects and one course for free per year. Also, you can still visit coursera.org and sign up to audit courses for free.
Our goal will be to bring your Coursera for Campus account live as quickly as possible. You can expect to hear about the next steps within two business days of applying.
