Kanopy

You can watch a maximum of 3 videos per month.* You will receive 3 play credits every month. Once you press play on a video, you will automatically use 1 play credit.

Once you press play on a video, you will have 48 to 72 hours to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit. If you would like to watch the same video after the 48 to 72 hours have passed, you will use up another play credit.

* Please note that some video series, such as Great Courses, may be limited to fewer checkouts per month.
