Hello,

After the final graded item is submitted for week 3 (and a green checkmark appears for week 3), I assume the course will be marked as completed, correct?

In terms of losing access to course material: is it immediate, or does it wait until the day where we have had recurring monthly billing charged? (For instance, if I was charged monthly on the 15th of each month, and finished before then, would the 15th be the last time I can access material?)

Regarding downloading material: (This tip may be helpful for others) For the lab notebooks I save screenshots of them while executing the various code blocks. In the past I’ve tried downloading the jupyter notebook files but haven’t had much luck being able to run them locally; or I’ve had issues where attempting to save a notebook as a PDF won’t save stuff in the proper syntax

You can get all of the files using the “Lab Files” tool, then selecting “Download all files”. This gives you a zip file that contains everything.

It is not clear exactly when access to the materials ends. This is why there is a reading in Week 3 of this course, recommending you download everything before you complete the final lab.

Once the course is completed, will coursera automatically disable the monthly auto-billing for the subscription to this course, or is there some step we need to take manually?

It depends on whether you subscribed to just one course, of if you bought a monthly subscription.

Please contact the Coursera Help Center if you have questions about your subscription.
