Switching plans or managing add-ons
As a Spotify Premium for Students subscriber, you only have access to Hulu’s ad-supported plan.

After deactivating your Hulu account, click Go to Hulu or visit hulu.com/welcome to resubscribe. Make sure you use the same email address as before if you’d like to keep your profiles and watch history.
Cancelling your Hulu account
