One of the best things about Udemy is that you can login to your account from virtually anywhere, whenever you want, and access your courses easily! We strongly believe that students will benefit from the limitless educational possibilities this feature presents.
Once you purchase a course, you'll have access for life, provided that your account is in good standing and Udemy continues to have a license to that course.

No. Your access to a course is not affected by the price you paid for it.

What if I used an instructor coupon to purchase the course? Does lifetime access still apply?
Yes. Students receive lifetime access to a Udemy course regardless of what price they paid for it, or whether they used a coupon to enrol or not.
What happens if the instructor removes the course from Udemy?
We host thousands of courses on our online learning marketplace. Our marketplace model means we do not own the copyright to the content of the courses; the respective instructors own these rights. On rare occasions, instructors may remove their courses from our marketplace, or, Udemy may have to remove a course from the platform for policy or legal reasons. If this does happen to a course you're enrolled in, please contact us and we'll be ready to help.
Please note: occasionally instructors may decide to unpublish their course and close it to additional enrollments. For example, an instructor might unpublish an older course until they’ve had a chance to update the course content. In situations where an instructor unpublishes their course, however, the course content remains on the platform and is still accessible to students who are enrolled in the course.
Can my courses ever be removed from Udemy?
On rare occasions, Udemy may be required to remove a course from the platform due to policy or legal reasons. If this does happen to a course you're enrolled in, please contact us and we'll be ready to help.
