official student

En las EOI (Escuela Oicial de Idiomas) siempre hablan de alumnos oficiales y alumnos libres. Los derechos de unos y de otros son distintos.

El alumno oficial es el que ha pagado la matrícula para cursar las clases y tine derecho a ir a lección.
El alumno libre, en cambio, es el que se presenta sólo al examen de aptitut (hay en tercero y en quinto), pero no ha asistido a clase porque no estaba matriculado y no le estaba permitido ir.

An \"alumno libre\" would probably be one who is taking different courses part-time, etc., not in a degree program while an \"alumno oficial\" would probably be full-time in a degree program. Maybe you don\'t have context to go by, but this would be my best guess.

Yes, \"libre\" is the independent study student.

A student who is matriculated can be either full or part time, once matriculated the student has the right to the benefits of a matriculated student such as applying for scholarships / grants.

AS opposed to a student who is merely registered and does not have the right to these benefits.
