Spotify uses SheerID to verify an individual's qualification for the premium membership student discount. The student can still renew their subscription and get the promo by going to 'CHANGE PLAN' on the account page and selecting 'Premium Student'. If the user fails to renew before the current student membership expires, their access to Spotify simply reverts to a full-price premium subscription automatically. To re-verify a discounted Spotify student plan, just go to Spotify's account page before the annual expiration and follow the onscreen instructions.

Those who avail of a Premium Student membership are afforded the discount for 12 months, with an option to renew it for another three years. Each new subscription comes with a few bells and whistles, such as additional free subscriptions to media streaming services Hulu and Showtime. Students who are interested in upgrading their Spotify account can do so by paying for a Premium Student plan.
