Spotify has different plans to fit everyone's needs. Not only that, but the company makes it easy for students to access its platform through the unique Spotify Premium Student discount plan.

However, once you've subscribed to Spotify's student plan, you must renew your student discount annually. Otherwise, Spotify will automatically switch your account to the standard $9.99/month premium plan.

It's, therefore, in your best interest to renew your Spotify student discount before your plan expires. Keep reading to learn how to renew your Spotify Premium Student plan.

How Many Times Can You Renew Your Spotify Student Plan?

You can get Spotify Premium for cheap as a student by subscribing to the special student plan. At $4.99/month, Spotify Premium Student is the best Spotify subscription plan we recommend anyone to get as long as you qualify. It doesn't come without limitations, though.

First, Spotify assumes you can only be a student for a maximum of four years. Second, you must renew your discount annually. The four-year limit means you can only renew your Spotify Premium Student discount up to three times.

If you're thinking, "how will I know when my student subscription is about to expire?" don't stress about it. Spotify will email you about four weeks before your discount expires.
