Set up Coursera user accounts

When people join your organization’s learning programs for the first time, they can either:

• Create a new Coursera account
• Connect their learning program access to an existing Coursera account

Connected accounts

Learners should only have one Coursera account. People can access both their organization sponsored learning programs and any personal courses they are taking outside their programs from a single account.

Learners will be able to keep any Course Certificates earned in an organization's learning program even after they no longer have access to that program.

User accounts for large organizations

If you have single sign-on (SSO) enabled for your organization, people still should use a single Coursera account. When people log in with SSO credentials, those credentials are linked to a Coursera account – either to a new account or to an existing account.

For more information about enabling SSO for your organization, please contact your Account Manager.
