ANNOUNCING CONTINUED ACCESS TO COURSERA'S EXPANDED CATALOG THROUGH THE COURSERA PARTNER CONSORTIUM

In 2020, we partnered with Coursera to expand access to their catalog for the Duke community with the Coursera for DKU and the Duke 2020 Access programs. Those opportunities were originally planned to end this year, but because of your enthusiasm for learning, Coursera has developed a new learning program that will continue to allow you access to thousands of high-quality courses from Duke and other institutions through the Coursera Partner Consortium.

If you are currently registered for the Duke 2020 Access program (renamed to Coursera for Duke) or Coursera for DKU, no action is required. You will retain access to non-partner courses you are already enrolled in through April 28, 2021.

If you are a Duke or Duke Kunshan University student, faculty or staff member, you may register for the expanded learning program.

You must have a Duke NetID to enroll. Email us if you have any difficulties accessing the new Coursera for Duke using your NetID. We hope you enjoy advancing your learning through Duke’s and our university partners’ many courses through the Coursera Partner Consortium!
