## Coupon Extensions

Launchpad regularly runs coupon-based extensions through partner colleges and campus events. Depending on the event, coupons can extend your access by additional months or even provide multi-year access. Keep an eye on your college's placement cell and Launchpad events for extension opportunities.

<Info>
  Your progress is always retained. Every solved problem, streak day, DSA Quest level, bookmark, note, and custom list stays with your account across renewals and extensions, so you never restart from scratch.
