Hulu Student Discount

About Hulu Student Discount

The Hulu Student Discount lets you pay less for Hulu (with ads). You get the same plan, and you can watch all the shows and movies. There is no change in what you can see or do if you pick the lower price. You save money and still have all the fun. If you are a student, you can join and pay less. Do not wait! Sign up to get the good deal and watch your favorite shows and films for less cash.

What You Get

When you subscribe to the Hulu Student Discount, you get these benefits:

1. See all of Hulu’s shows and films: You get to watch TV, movies, anime, fun shows, Hulu’s own picks, and much more. The kinds you can see match the full Hulu (with ads) plan. You pick what you want. You do not lose out on any shows or movies just because you pay less for being a student. You still get all the things regular users see.

2. Use it on many things: You may watch on web sites, phones, tablets, some smart TVs, and other streaming boxes. It works the same as if you pay full price; just log in with your account. It’s quick and easy.

3. Ads will show while you watch: Do not forget this - you can’t block ads with the student plan. If you do not want to see ads at all, you will have to pick the standard Hulu plan, which costs more and does not let you keep the lower student cost. Still, for only $1.99 each month, having some ads is not too bad, is it?

4. All standard Hulu features: Create your profiles, keep watching your favorite shows, enjoy personalized recommendations, and much more. Some content even allows language and subtitle switching for your convenience. You can search, save favorites, and view your watch history—all with the same great experience as regular users. And don’t worry—none of these features are cut back just because you’re on the student plan.

What’s Not Included

Before subscribing, here are a few things to know:

• Doesn’t include Hulu + Live TV channels or sports live streams: These are part of a higher-tier plan, and the Hulu Student Discount doesn’t apply. You’d need to subscribe or upgrade separately at full price. If you’re mainly looking for live TV, the Hulu Student Discount plan might not be for you.

• Doesn’t automatically include Disney+ or ESPN+ bundles: Also doesn’t include other premium add-on channels (like Max, STARZ, etc.). These all require additional payments. Want these? You’ll need to pay extra.

Difference from Spotify Student Bundle

If you’re torn between the Spotify + Hulu bundle or the standalone Hulu Student Discount, here’s the breakdown:

• If you use the Spotify Premium Student bundle (Spotify Student + Hulu with ads): The Hulu side is still the “Hulu with ads basic plan.” It’s just a different pricing source, but functionally it’s basically the same as the standalone Hulu Student Discount.

• You can’t stack both discounts on Hulu: Which one to choose mainly depends on whether you also need Spotify music service. If you’re already using Spotify, the bundle is a better deal; if you only watch videos, the standalone Hulu Student Discount is enough.

Key Differences

Aspect	Spotify + Hulu Bundle	Hulu Student Discount
Price	$5.99/month (includes Spotify Premium Student + Hulu With Ads)	$1.99/month (Hulu With Ads only)
Services Included	Spotify lossless/offline music + Hulu with ads content	Hulu with ads content only
Activation	Verify through Spotify student plan page via SheerID and activate bundle	Verify through Hulu Student Discount page via SheerID
Hulu Features	Same: on-demand library with ads, no downloads/live TV/no ads option	Same: on-demand library with ads, no downloads/live TV/no ads option
Best For	Students who need Spotify, better value	Students who only want Hulu, don’t need Spotify

Usage Limitations and Switching

• Both offer the exact same Hulu experience, both require annual SheerID student verification, and both expire after graduation. However, with the Spotify bundle, Hulu is billed through Spotify, so you can’t manage Hulu upgrades (like No Ads) separately - you’d need to cancel the bundle first.

• If you’re already using one, you can’t stack the other discount. To switch, cancel your current plan in account settings, then verify and activate through the other platform.

Recommendations

• Choose Spotify bundle if you listen to music a lot (it’s like getting Spotify student at $4.99 + Hulu at $1.99, but $1 cheaper overall).

• Choose the Hulu Student Discount if you already have other music services or only watch videos (cheaper option).

Eligibility

To apply for the Hulu Student Discount, you need to meet these requirements:

• Enrolled at a Title IV accredited institution in the United States
• Able to verify student status through SheerID
• At least 18 years old

Simply put, if you’re studying at an eligible US college and can pass verification, you can enjoy the Hulu Student Discount.

How to Get Verified

Applying for the Hulu Student Discount is pretty straightforward - just follow these steps:

1. Visit Hulu Student Deal page: Go to hulu.com/student, click “Get the Deal” or similar button to start registering/logging into your Hulu account and begin your Hulu Student Discount application.

2. Fill in personal information and verify through SheerID: Enter your name, school name, date of birth, school email, or upload proof of enrollment (like student ID, transcript). After the system confirms, return to Hulu to complete your subscription.

3. Add payment method: Confirm the $1.99/month price, and you can start using it immediately. Your student status will be automatically re-verified annually - make sure to check your email for reminders.

The whole process takes just a few minutes, and once verified, you can start watching right away.

Re-verification

The Hulu Student Discount is available for eligible students as long as you’re in college. Remember, you’ll need to re-verify your student status each year to keep enjoying the discount. Don’t worry—Hulu will send you email reminders before your verification period ends, so you’ll always be in the loop and can stay connected without any hassle.

Important note: Once you graduate, your Hulu Student Discount won’t automatically change to the regular price on your graduation day. Don’t worry, though, it will stay active until your next annual SheerID student verification, which usually lasts for 12 months. If, for some reason, the verification process doesn’t go through, your plan will switch from the Hulu Student Discount to the regular Hulu (With Ads) plan at the start of your next billing cycle. Don’t worry if you don’t get a reminder after graduation, you’re still more than welcome to enjoy the Hulu Student Discount until your verification process updates expire.

Pricing

The Hulu Student Discount is priced at $1.99/month (plus applicable taxes), compared to regular Hulu (With Ads) at $7.99/month - that’s a significant savings.

Note: Hulu Student Discount registration does not include a free trial. As long as your student status can be verified (or until this Hulu Student Discount offer ends or becomes unavailable), you’ll pay $1.99/month subscription fee. You can cancel anytime online or by phone.

Important Notes

Before you sign up for the Hulu Student deal, keep these key things in mind:

• The Hulu Student deal works with the Hulu plan that has ads only.
• This student deal is just for people who live in the United States.
• Once you finish school, this deal will stop and you will pay the normal price after they see that you are no longer a student.
• You can’t use this student deal with other Hulu deals or bundles.
• You are free to stop your student deal whenever you like, and you will still be able to use Hulu till the end of your pay period.
