Personal Course Quota

Free Personal Courses

Beginning on July 14, 2020, CN only allows each individual user to create two free personal courses--one Classic LMS course and one Pathway LMS course. Each free personal course can:

• accommodate a maximum of 35 members, 
• remain active for 6 months. After 6 months, students can still take the course, but the course instructor will not be able to manage the course (i.e. invite new course members, edit tasks, and post).

Course instructors may upgrade a free personal course to a paid personal course at $9/month for a minimum of six months. A paid personal course can accommodate a maximum of 75 members. 

Paid Personal Courses

In addition to the two free personal courses, each individual CN user is allowed to create unlimited paid personal courses. Each paid personal course can:

• accommodate a maximum of 75 members, 
• remain active for 6 months. After 6 months, once the course expires, students can still take the course, but the course instructor will not be able to manage the course (i.e. invite new course members, edit tasks, and edit posts).

Course instructors may renew a paid personal course to keep it live at $9/month for a minimum of six months. Instructors may renew as many times as they want. 

Track Your Personal Course Quota Usage

When creating personal courses on CN, we help you track your personal course quota status for each course type. 

Need More Than 10 Courses? 

If you need more than 10 personal courses, we recommend you contact info@coursenetworking.com to obtain an institutional license, which allows an unlimited number of courses with unlimited length and members. But feel free to purchase as many personal courses as you want if an institutional license is not an option for you. 

Upgrade or Renew a Personal Course

View Course Payment Info

In each personal course, you can find the Course Payment page from the left course menu. This page shows critical course payment-related information, such as when the last payment was received and the course expiration date.

Pay for Course Upgrade/Renew

You may renew or upgrade a personal course anytime. If the current course expiration date has already passed, the new course expiration date will be 6 months from now. If the current course expiration date is in the future, we will add 6 more months from then. 

To pay for course upgrades or renewals, simply click the green "Pay Now" button. It will take you to the following payment page. Review the information on this page and choose one of the payment options to complete the payment. 

Please note, after you complete the payment, it may take a few seconds to minutes for the payment information on your course pages to be updated. You may do a page refresh to see the updated information. If you ever encounter any technical difficulties or need assistance, please contact CN Helpdesk help@thecn.com.
