If you no longer qualify for this service when it comes time for re-verification, you're out of luck. To weed out anyone over-staying their welcome, the service requires students to reverify their accounts once every 12 months. Spotify isn't stupid - it knows you won't be a student forever. Other documents may be necessary to prove that you qualify. When you first join Spotify Premium for Students with Hulu and Showtime, you'll need to provide your name, email address, date of birth, and payment details, as well as the name of the valid educational institution. If you don't meet any of these three requirements, you'll need to choose either the $9.99 Premium plan (which also offers the first three months for $0.99 each right now) - which does not feature Hulu or Showtime access - or the standard Spotify Free option. The same goes for subscriptions with the Showtime app.

If you already subscribe to Hulu's $5.99 plan, you can also switch to the bundled option, but your current Hulu subscription will last until the end of the billing cycle.


So, when there's an opportunity to snag not just Spotify but Hulu and Showtime as well, all for just a tad bit over five dollars a month, how could you turn that down? Unfortunately, all these choices weigh heavily on your wallet. Between Netflix, Apple Music, HBO Now, and countless more, your TV, movie, and music options have never been better. Media subscriptions are all the rage these days.
