Checkout Guidelines

You have 60 tickets a month to borrow movies on Kanopy. At the beginning of the new month, your 60-ticket limit will reset. For example, If you reach your 60-ticket maximum for January, you will receive 60 more tickets on February 1.

You can check out the same item again after your period has run out and the item has been returned, so long as you have yet to reach your 60-ticket maximum for the month.

• Each item on Kanopy will list the number of tickets and how long you can access the item on the items page.
  • You can watch a movie as often as possible within the rental period.
  • For episodic titles such as TV series or The Great Courses, it will also tell you what content the tickets unlock (e.g., “Season 1” or “All”).
