Before closing your account
If you’ve created a course on Udemy, or you have been added as a co-instructor to a course, you will need to take additional steps before following the steps in the Closing your account section.
Closing your account as a course instructor
Courses with no student enrollments
If you’ve created draft courses on Udemy, you must delete each of the courses you created before closing your account.
If you have published courses with no enrolled students, please unpublish the courses first and then delete them in order to close your account.
After deleting all courses, follow the steps in the Closing your account section below to permanently close your account with Udemy.
Courses with enrolled students
If you have published or previously published a course with an enrolled student, please contact our Support Team for further instructions on closing your account.
Please note: Per our student lifetime access feature, students who have enrolled in your courses will continue to have access to them after you close your account.
Courses in Udemy Business content collection
If your courses have been selected for inclusion in the Udemy Business content collection, please contact our Udemy Business Content team at ubcontent@udemy.com for further assistance.
Please note: Per our Promotions Policy, your course will continue to be available for enrollment in the Udemy Business catalog for a period of up to 12 months.
