You have to be a student to be accepted as a Student Member, according to the Articles of Association 11.2. This grade of membership can be retained for a short time after ceasing to be a student.
The Applicants Handbook, October 2002 (no doubt revised since) states that the "Validation Committee may accept an applicaion, deref a decision for further information, offer a class of membership other than that applied for, or refuse admission" (para. 2.4).
I am interested as I presume that this proviso was intended for those applying for a grade higher than appropriate, rather than lower.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
