Hi Rohan,

I believe the maximum limit imposed on the "My Courses" page is to help limit the amount of data that needs to be loaded for that page. If you select more courses, the page will begin to take longer to load and will place more strain on our servers. That being said, I'm not aware of any plans to raise the max course limit.

Another reason for this is that there are not many users who are actively working through more than nine courses at a time. If you need to add new courses, you can always remove older ones that you are no longer working through. You can also always access all of the courses via the courses dropdown at the top of the page.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

I guess there still working on it

The maximum has been 9 since I began seriously using Khan Academy in 2017. The message that appears says:

Alas! We can't track more than 9 courses for you yet.

It leads people to think, by using the word "yet", that it will eventually happen. Well, I've been waiting four years for this to be done. Maybe they should remove the word "yet" to not get our hopes up that there will be more capacity added eventually.

Although I am not working through 9 courses at once, I do like to have my future courses in front of me to motivate me to complete what I'm currently doing, plus I like to have some past ones there to easily reference something I learned in them. So, yes, I do wish I could have an unlimited number of courses there.

Maybe Khan Academy could add a new category called "Up Next" under "My Courses". I think a lot of users are using "My Courses" as a sort of bookmark of what courses we want to do next because they sound interesting, resulting in a lot of people hitting the 9 course limit despite Khan Academy seeing many users are not actually having started most of these courses yet. This would also limit the amount of data Khan Academy has to load on a users page, since these could load up in a separate tab (similar to projects) until the user moves it to their active "My Courses" roster or be collapsed and not load up as much detail.

I was just about to add this when I saw your comment:).

I’ll add that I’ve seen recently that courses archive as you add others. I’m not exactly sure how many do this but right now there are a few that moved into the past tab though my students were currently working on them and it threw them for a moment when they did not see them on the first (active) page. However if you click on the “Past” tab you will see the topics at varying levels of completion. You can still work them to completion and they still maintain their original deadlines.

This seems a very recent change & we are pleased with it. Hope this helps.

So it is Changing soon?

I guess it's just meant for adding what stuff you're currently working on and will be working on for a while, i've just got Early Math and Arithmetic stuff added to it, however being an adult learner and it doesn't show all the content when i go into them it's not useful for me to add anything there really... maybe that's why students just add stuff as a bookmark there because they probably want to get to all the content too lol.

Adding the courses there has been a little way to keep track and to see any projects you're doing but it's not been too useful for courses because of how it's a seperate page with less stuff on it, i'm worried they'll remove all the content though which is where a lot of the stuff they've removed from the grades has gone to, i've found the middle stuff to be so useful i couldn't do it without it i'd be back to fully "traditional" school stuff which doesn't work on my brain at all lol, minus one or two things i wouldn't use.

The only way to find all the content is search a video that's in the Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra or whatever section, go to the video, scroll down and find the text links under the list of videos bottom/left, it's a bit hidden and i don't know why really.

I find going to the Grades and now going to all the content works fine i don't really look at my profile page that much i know what i'm currently doing. I would love to see a big makeover of KA though where all the videos are re-done, the search is better, there's something there that shows us what skills we should search for that could help us learn a concept. Then maybe we can add the section we're at in the course slots rather than just the course so we can just go straight there rather than scrolling through every unit, or just reserve it for projects because we could always bookmark the page we're working on.

I am hoping that they will increase this in the next few years because i am sure that there are a lot of us who want to do more that 9 topics in one stretch of time.

Edit: I am thinking that they could also add something where after you are done a course another one will come up immediately instead of you going and choosing a course all over again. If anyone who works at khan academy see's this post, please take this suggestion under consideration as this will help us a lot.  

Well, it's true the home page will take longer than usual to load and increase server load too. However, some of us finish 9 course quite fast. Keeping courses on the home page is really convenient. I put many mathematics and physics courses on my dashboard, but for example, I started calculus and it gets really inconvenient to search the calculus course. I know you can edit your courses and put calculus, but that's just as inconvenient. 
*Sorry for my repeated use of inconvenient :)

My question is if I were to do all 9 courses and than replace them with new courses, will I lose the progress I made on the other courses, as I’m currently attempting to take as many as possible if not be a completionist will my past completed not be tracked past those 9?

kmudrumer Removing courses from the My Courses list will not have any impact on your progress in those courses. Once removed, you can always re-add those courses to the My Courses list, and you will always be able to access all of the courses on the site via the Explore menu in the top-left corner.
