I am studying by DAPS, am I a student?
Normally, students would be registered on full-time courses of study and under the age of 21.
If you are over 21 and have worked in the industry for more than 3 years you should apply for Associate grade.
If you graduated recently and have less than 1 year of experience, Council will exercise discretion and allow you to be elected as a ‘Student’ at any age.
