The same Professional a subscriber pays for, sponsored and time-boxed; a later paid subscription simply supersedes it.
Why this exists
Regulated life sciences has an unusual entry problem. The work is governed by documents that are expensive to buy, written for people who already hold the context, and taught mostly on the job — so a student can complete a relevant degree without ever seeing a deviation record, a change control, or the reasoning that connects a regulation to what somebody does on a Tuesday. The gap is not intelligence or motivation. It is access.
The free Navigator already closes part of that gap for everyone, with no account. Student Access closes more of it for people who are studying now, on the view that the cost of admitting someone who would have paid is smaller than the cost of a generation learning this field from summaries.
It is sponsored rather than discounted. There is no card, no trial that quietly becomes a subscription, and nothing to cancel.
Eligibility, and what verification means
Student Access is for people currently enrolled in a course of study, anywhere. With an academic email address — one ending in .edu, or an academic domain such as .ac.uk — access starts the moment you confirm the address from the link we send to it. Where a student does not have one — which is common outside the United States, and normal for many institutions — a person reviews the application and asks for evidence of enrolment instead. Neither route is a second-class one, and the grant is identical.
Verification establishes that an applicant is a student. It establishes nothing else. It is not an assessment of ability, it is not an endorsement by any institution, and holding a grant is not a qualification, a credential or a statement about competence — SPEQ does not certify anyone, and a grant confers access to material rather than standing in the field.
What happens at the end
A grant runs for 6 months and then stops. Reminders go out beforehand, at 30d, 14d, 3d — enough warning to finish a piece of work or export what you need, rather than a surprise. At expiry the account downgrades to the free Explorer tier and keeps everything that tier includes; it does not convert to a paid subscription, because there is no payment method on file to convert.
Work saved during a grant stays saved. What ends is access to Professional, not the account or its contents. To keep Professional after the 6 months, subscribe at the normal price on the pricing page; nothing renews on its own.
