Frequently asked questions
Cancel Course Hero: The Right Way
How to cancel Course Hero and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What Course Hero is and why malaysian users subscribe
Course Hero is a U.S.-based online education platform that sells recurring memberships to Malaysian students and professionals. You pay a monthly or annual subscription fee to unlock study documents, access textbook solutions, and receive tutor support through the platform's study tools. The service operates entirely in English and does not maintain a local Malaysian office, which affects how you cancel and where disputes are resolved.
The subscription model and what you actually receive
Course Hero does not sell one-off document downloads. Instead, you subscribe to a recurring membership that renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. Most Malaysian users choose the Premier Membership, which includes up to 30 document unlocks per month, access to textbook solutions, and up to 40 study questions per month.
Your card is charged in Malaysian ringgit (RM), but the platform's pricing is set in U.S. dollars. At the current exchange rate of approximately 1 USD = 4.72 RM, the monthly plan costs around RM 189, while the annual plan works out to approximately RM 47 per month when spread across 12 months. Your exact charge depends on your bank's foreign exchange rate and any conversion fees applied at the time of purchase.
Course hero's terms and how they affect malaysian users
Course Hero's Terms of Service state that all disputes are governed by U.S. law and handled in U.S. courts. This means if you face a billing dispute or claim the platform failed to deliver promised services, you cannot escalate through Malaysian consumer authorities alone. However, this does not override your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) when you first purchased the membership in Malaysia.
Furthermore, your automatic renewal is subject to the CPA 1999, which requires the company to obtain your explicit consent before charging you again. If Course Hero renews your membership without clear notice or fails to provide an easy cancellation route, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or report the practice to the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
This section explains the legal framework that protects you as a Course Hero subscriber in Malaysia, regardless of the company's U.S. headquarters.
Consumer protection act 1999 and automatic renewal
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) is the primary law that governs all consumer transactions in Malaysia, including subscriptions purchased online. Under Section 2, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a transaction with a supplier for goods or services.
When you subscribe to Course Hero, you are a consumer, and Course Hero is the supplier. The CPA 1999 requires suppliers to act in good faith and provide clear, accurate information before charging you. For automatic renewals, this means Course Hero must:
- Clearly inform you that your membership will renew automatically before the first charge
- Obtain your explicit, informed consent to the renewal terms
- Provide you with an easy, cost-free method to cancel before each renewal date
- Send you a reminder before your next billing date
Consequently, if Course Hero has charged you without a clear reminder, buried the cancellation button, or made you jump through unnecessary steps to stop the membership, the company has breached the CPA 1999.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Course Hero membership at any time before the next billing date and prevent the renewal charge. If the company has already charged you without meeting the CPA 1999 requirements, you can request a refund. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCA) enforces consumer protection law in Malaysia and investigates complaints against suppliers who breach the CPA 1999.
You may also dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer under the Visa, Mastercard, or local payment network rules, which often allow consumers to reverse charges for failed service or unfair billing practices.
Pricing breakdown and what you pay
Understanding Course Hero's pricing in ringgit helps you spot unauthorized charges and decide whether the service is worth your money.
| Plan | Billing period | USD cost | Approx. RM cost (at 4.72 exchange) | Value for money |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Premier | 1 month | $39.99 | RM 189 | Best for short-term use |
| Annual Premier | 12 months | $9.95 per month (billed yearly) | RM 47 per month equivalent (RM 564 upfront) | Best for committed students |
| Premier Plus bundle | Varies (check your receipt) | Varies | Varies | May include partner services |
| Free tier | Indefinite | Free | Free | Limited unlocks, best for testing |
Your actual charge in ringgit depends on the exchange rate at the time of purchase and any fees your bank charges for foreign currency conversion. Always check your bank statement and compare it to the USD price shown on Course Hero to spot any unexplained difference.
Step-by-step cancellation methods for malaysian users
This section walks you through the exact steps to cancel Course Hero before your next billing date, depending on how you originally subscribed.
How to cancel via the Course Hero website
If you subscribed directly on coursehero.com using your credit or debit card, you can cancel through your account dashboard. This is usually the fastest method and takes fewer than five minutes.
- Open coursehero.com and log into your account using your email and password
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and check your email for a reset link
- Click your profile picture or avatar at the top right corner of the page
- On mobile, this may be a hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top left instead
- Select "Settings" or "Account settings" from the dropdown menu
- Look for the section labeled "Billing", "Subscription", or "Membership"
- Locate the button that says "Stop Recurring Membership", "Cancel subscription", or "Cancel membership"
- If you do not see this button, your membership may have been purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store instead of direct billing; scroll down to find instructions for app-based cancellation
- Click the cancellation button and follow the confirmation screens
- Course Hero may ask why you are canceling; you can skip this survey or provide feedback, but you are not required to answer
- Confirm that you want to cancel when prompted
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page as proof of your request
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours; if you do not receive it, log back in and verify that the "Stop Recurring Membership" button has disappeared
How to cancel a Course Hero membership purchased via apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's settings, not through the Course Hero website.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Course Hero" in the list of active subscriptions
- Tap "Course Hero" and then tap "Cancel subscription"
- Apple may offer you a discount or free trial to stay subscribed; you can decline and proceed with cancellation
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted
- Take a screenshot showing that Course Hero no longer appears in your active subscriptions list
How to cancel a Course Hero membership purchased via google play store
If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android phone or tablet, you must cancel through the Google Play Store app or website.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a web browser
- Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Manage subscriptions" or "Subscriptions"
- Find "Course Hero" in the list
- Tap or click "Course Hero" and then select "Cancel subscription"
- Choose a reason for cancellation (optional) and tap "Continue"
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Yes, cancel subscription"
- Take a screenshot showing that the subscription is canceled
How to request a refund for unauthorized charges
If Course Hero has already renewed your membership and you were not warned before the charge, you can request a refund directly from the company.
- Contact Course Hero support at [email protected] or call 1-888-634-9397 (note: you may incur international calling fees from Malaysia)
- In your email or during the call, explain that you did not consent to the renewal and provide:
- Your Course Hero account email address
- The date of the charge you dispute
- The amount in RM that was deducted from your account
- Your bank statement or payment receipt as proof
- Request a full refund of the unauthorized charge and ask for written confirmation of the refund within 7 days
- Save all email correspondence
- If Course Hero does not respond within 14 days or refuses to refund, proceed to step 4
- Contact your bank's dispute resolution team and request a chargeback for the unauthorized billing; provide them with:
- Your emails to Course Hero support
- Screenshots of the billing page showing the renewal date you did not authorize
- The bank's transaction record
Common mistakes that lead to unwanted charges
Many Malaysian users encounter surprise charges because they make one of these preventable errors. You can avoid them by following this guide.
Canceling the app but not the subscription
Deleting the Course Hero app from your phone does not cancel your membership. The subscription continues to renew in the background, and you will still be charged on your billing date. You must cancel through the app store (Apple or Google) or the Course Hero website. Deleting the app only removes access to the platform; it does not stop the charge.
Missing the billing date reminder
Course Hero is supposed to send you an email reminder before your membership renews, but these emails sometimes end up in your spam or promotions folder. Check these folders before each expected billing date. If you do not see a reminder email three to five days before your renewal date, log into your account manually and verify the exact renewal date on your membership page.
Assuming that changing your payment card cancels the membership
If you update your credit card details in your Course Hero account, the subscription does not cancel. Your membership will simply renew using the new card. If you want to cancel, you must click the cancellation button; updating your payment method is not enough.
Overlooking the annual renewal trap
If you selected the annual plan, your renewal charge will be much larger than a monthly charge (approximately RM 564 upfront instead of RM 189 per month). Many users forget they chose the annual option and are shocked by the large deduction. Before your renewal date, log in and check whether your plan says "Monthly" or "Annual" in the billing section.
What happens after you cancel Course Hero
Knowing what to expect after cancellation helps you avoid further confusion or unwanted charges.
When your access ends
Your access to Course Hero ends immediately after you confirm the cancellation. You can no longer unlock documents, view textbook solutions, or send questions to tutors. If you have unsaved study materials or notes within your Course Hero account, save or download them before you click the final cancellation button.
Course Hero's privacy policy does not clearly state how long your account data is retained after cancellation. In accordance with best practice, assume that your saved documents, history, and notes may be deleted within 30 to 90 days. Do not rely on Course Hero to preserve your work after cancellation.
Your final billing date
You will not be charged again after you cancel, provided you cancel before the system processes your next automatic renewal. The exact cut-off time depends on when Course Hero's billing system runs each month. To be safe, cancel at least three to five days before your renewal date.
If you cancel on the same day as your renewal and the charge has already gone through, contact support within 48 hours and request an immediate refund. The sooner you report the charge, the faster the company can reverse it.
Refund timelines and policy
Course Hero's refund policy is not prominently published on their website. In practice, the company rarely refunds annual plans unless the customer cancels within a short "cooling-off" period (typically seven to 14 days after purchase, though this is not always enforced).
For unexpected renewal charges, Course Hero may issue a refund if you contact them within 30 days of the charge and explain that you did not authorize the renewal. Monthly charges are more likely to be refunded than annual charges. Any refund is usually processed to your original payment method within seven to 14 business days.
Escalation: what to do if Course Hero refuses to help
If the company ignores your cancellation request or refuses to refund an unauthorized charge, you have two legal routes available in Malaysia.
Disputing the charge with your bank
Contact your bank's customer service and request a chargeback or payment reversal for the Course Hero charge. Explain that you did not authorize the renewal charge or that you requested cancellation but were charged anyway. Provide your bank with:
- Screenshots of your Course Hero account showing the renewal date or cancellation confirmation
- Emails from Course Hero support (or proof that they did not respond)
- Your bank statement showing the unauthorized charge
Your bank has 45 to 90 days to investigate and can reverse the charge if evidence supports your claim. This is often faster than waiting for Course Hero to respond.
Filing a complaint with the malaysian ministry of domestic trade and cost of living
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCA) enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and investigates complaints against suppliers who breach consumer rights. You can file a complaint if Course Hero:
- Charged you without your explicit consent (breach of automatic renewal rules)
- Did not provide clear cancellation instructions
- Refused to refund an unauthorized charge within a reasonable time
- Engaged in unfair or deceptive billing practices
Visit the National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC) website at www.nccc.org.my or call 1-300-88-5262 to file a formal complaint. The MDTCA will investigate the complaint and may compel Course Hero to refund you or impose penalties on the company.
