The only way to interchange (modern) Pro/E files between commercial and student editions is with the
EDU_COM_Convert module. (Available as a floating module with university-licenced installations of Pro/ENGINEER.) If you can contact the CAD administrator for your university, it should be a simple matter for them to save versions of the templates that are compatible with the commercial version. (Open the file in the university edition with EDU_COM_Convert enabled, then save: it is now a commercial edition file.) Be aware, however: if you're submitting your (commercial-version) work as a Pro/E file, only university and commercial editions will be able to read it. Make sure that your file is going to be marked on one of those editions, and not a copy of the student edition. (Or, get it converted back, by saving it with a copy of the university edition with EDU_COM_Convert disabled.)
