A "student member" shall be defined as a person who is enrolled full-time in an ABET-accredited engineering program or an engineering or pre-engineering program that has a transfer agreement with one or more ABET accredited engineering programs.

A person who has graduated with a bachelor's degree or higher from an ABET-accredited engineering curriculum or from an engineering or pre-engineering program that leads to engineering licensure shall be granted provisional status as a member for up to two years to achieve the full requirements for the member grade. "Graduate members" shall not have voting privileges and shall not be allowed to hold office in NSPE.

What if my license is not in the U.S.?
If an applicant has achieved the equivalent of U.S. licensure in another country, NSPE will approve the applicant for membership.
