OK, I'm going to college for my Associates in Medical Lab Technology. Will I be an undergrad, postgrad, or graduate student? It's all confusing to me.

I see, an Associates Degree is two years. I still don't know what kind of graduate that makes me. I'll probably go for a Bachelors after I get my Associates.

On the west side of... of... somewhere.
Undergrad.

anyone going for either an Associate or Bachelors, but hasn't graduated with a BA is considered an Undergrad.

Once you get your BA/BS, you're a graduate. Not a Grad student. If you go for a Masters, then you're a grad student.

A graduate student is someone working on their Masters or PhD. There's Post-grad work, which is what some insane people do after they've finished their PhD.

Here in the US, at least, there's the Certificate or Associate Degree. If it's a degreed program, and is 2-year (although it can take longer, that's just the average for a full time student), then it's an Associate Degree...

Here and there
If you haven't graduated with your Bachelor's, then it's undergrad. If you have, then I don't know. I would imagine that it's still undergrad since grad is Master's and above.
