You may be wondering about the different "Ranks" that people have within the academy. I'll try to explain them all here
Student - Either a total newbie to the site, or one who is still in the process of learning the first ten (and a half) lessons. After they finish the first ten, they will usually be assigned to another teacher, but sometimes to the same one, and become an undergrad.
Undergraduate - They have already completed the first ten (and a half) lessons, but their teacher feels they do not yet have enough psionic knowledge to graduate. These students will usually be learning more advanced or controversial topics, like healing, psychometry, etc. They will probably learn a bit about philosophy and psi theory as well.
Graduate - When their teacher feels they are ready, an undergrad may "graduate" at any time and reach this rank. While at this rank they will pretty much just help out around the site, answer questions, etc. A graduate can also decide to train 1 new student when their chosen student reaches undergraduate level.
Teacher - If and when Orion and/or another of their teachers thinks them ready, they will guide a graduate student through "the trials", an overly melodramatic-sounding test of someone's abilities. They will be tested in everything from constructs to telepathy to remote viewing. If they pass, they will become a teacher. They can train however many students they like at any given time and have a few other privileges.
