With the addition to the Spotify Premium for Students plan, students will have unlimited access to thousands of hours of SHOWTIME’s premium entertainment content. Today we’re adding SHOWTIME to the plan, to let students enjoy even more award-winning, top-rated programming – all at the same low price and with the simplicity of one single bill. Our current Spotify Premium for Students plan offers unlimited and on-demand access to all of our music and podcasts for $4.99, as well as a subscription to Hulu’s streaming library of current and fan-favorite TV and movie hits. That’s why today, we’re announcing an upgraded Spotify Premium for Students plan, and giving students unrivaled access to world-class content for one low price. Though they may have busy schedules and tight budgets, they still want to keep up with their favorite shows and music. Users will need to manually renew their Spotify student membership every year for a maximum of three times and will need to do it before the current subscription elapses to ensure uninterrupted premium access.With back to school season upon us, students are stocking up on all they need to thrive at school. The first three months of the plan are free and will be followed with upgraded access to the platform at a discounted rate of $4.99 per month, which is half the price of a regular Spotify Premium subscription. Spotify's Premium Student plan is only available to people who are currently attending colleges and universities accredited by SheerID and will need to verify their identity to qualify for the program, either by logging in through their school's portal or providing proof of enrollment. Spotify's student verification process may take a few days to finalize -while waiting for it to go through, users can utilize the free version of the music-streaming service. If there are issues with the form page, users are encouraged to access the link in an incognito or private window of their chosen web browser.

Spotify uses SheerID to verify an individual's qualification for the premium membership student discount.
