1. tenured graduate student One who has been in graduate school for 10 years the usual maximum is 5 or 6: a "ten-yeared" student get it?. Actually, this term may be used of any grad student beginning in his seventh year. Students dont really get tenure, of course, the way professors do, but a tenth-year graduate student has probably been around the university longer than any untenured professor. [Jargon File]
