Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria. The team has pressed Coursera for a review since February 2026, but the company has repeatedly declined, citing a conservative compliance policy, most recently reiterated in August.
Declined
Coursera's support team repeated its conservative-compliance position and said Syria would remain blocked until conditions stabilize.
Follow-up Sent
UnblockSyria's team followed up in writing, noting Coursera had not responded to the February outreach and asking that the matter be escalated to legal and compliance colleagues.
Contacted Company
UnblockSyria's team formally asked Coursera's legal department to review its Syria IP restrictions, citing the lifted US and EU sanctions and the platform's own history of restoring access for education.
What works instead
Until Coursera is fully available in Syria, here's what we recommend. The badge on each shows how well it works.
