How to Activate Hulu with Spotify Student: All Info Included

Spotify Premium Student and Hulu combo is still very much alive. College-goers can unlock Hulu’s massive streaming library without spending an extra dime using Spotify. Plus, getting it set up is a breeze: you just need to tap a button if you haven’t used Hulu before. Even as an existing Hulu member, you can take advantage of this by simply switching your payment method to Spotify.

This article explains how to activate Hulu with a Spotify Student account. You will find easy-to-follow tutorials whether you are new to Hulu or an ongoing user. But first, let’s break down exactly what you can expect from this deal.

Before anything else, you must be at least 18 years old and enrolled at a US Title IV accredited college or university to be eligible to subscribe to Spotify Premium Student with Hulu. If that’s out of the way, it means you can claim Spotify and Hulu’s joint entertainment streaming bundle that gets you access to premium versions of both services. Here’s a gist:

What Does the “Spotify Premium Student with Hulu” Plan Include

As the table breaks down, the cost of subscribing to both services individually is around $22. However, the highlight of this offer is by confirming your academic enrollment, you can snag the best of both brands at just one monthly fee of $6. That’s right, you don’t even have to pay separately for Hulu’s Ad-supported students offer.

How Does Spotify Verify Student Status

Assuming you’ve already hopped on the Spotify Premium Student plan, you must have already verified your Student Status using Sheer ID. If so, skip to Part 2 to learn how to activate Hulu with Spotify.

If, by any chance you haven’t completed this step because you haven’t signed up for Spotify Premium Student before, you’ll need to get that sorted. So, let’s start with that first.

How to Sign up for Spotify Premium Student

Step 1. Open your preferred browser on your phone or computer and visit the Spotify Student Discount site. Click Get 1 month free or Get Started (if you have already exhausted the trial).

Step 2. Log in to your Spotify account or sign up if you don’t have one.

Step 3. Once you sign in, you’ll be automatically taken to the Sheer ID student verification page. Click Next to begin the process.

Step 4. On the Tell us about yourself page, fill in the required details, then click Verify My Student Status.

Step 5. Select Add File and then upload either your ID card or another supported document.

Step 6. SheerID will take a few minutes to confirm your eligibility.

Step 7. Once verified, click Get Student Discount. Enter your payment details to start the free trial, or if you have already used it, proceed to pay for the monthly or annual plan.

Once you’ve signed up for Spotify’s Student plan, activating Hulu subscription is just a button away. However, the process differs based on whether you have an ongoing Hulu subscription or not.

Not Currently Subscribed to Hulu

Step 1. Access the Spotify site via a web browser on your phone or computer. Log in to your account with the active Student plan. Then, click on the profile icon to navigate to your Account Overview section.

Step 2. Click the Activate Hulu button.

Step 3. Select Start Watching on the same Spotify page. Spotify will then redirect you to the Hulu sign up page. 

Step 4: Once there, choose I am new to Hulu. Enter your details and use the same email address you used for subscribing to Spotify’s Student plan while creating your new Hulu account.

After linking the Spotify and Hulu accounts, you are all set to log in and stream Hulu’s movies and TV shows on any device supported by Hulu.

Already Subscribed to Hulu Separately

For transferring your billing to Spotify from an existing Hulu account, you’ll have to meet some requirements:

• First, make sure that you are billed through Hulu. If you are billed by a 3rd party (e.g. Roku, Apple, Amazon), ensure to cancel it before trying to link the accounts.
• Second, if your Hulu and Spotify email address don’t match, then change the Hulu address to match with the Spotify one.

Once both the requirements are fulfilled, visit the Spotify’s Account Overview page as discussed above and choose Activate Hulu. Then, choose I Have a Hulu Account on the activation page and follow the on-screen prompts to link Hulu with your Spotify Premium Student account.

To deactivate Hulu from your Spotify account, go to the Account Overview page. Under Your Services page, click the Deactivate Hulu button. Confirm your action to unlink Hulu from your Spotify Premium Student account.

Those who don’t meet the eligibility criteria for the Spotify’s Student plan or lack an active Premium subscription can still download music from the platform using StreamFox for Music.
