That's for night SVFR which was can all agree disqualifies even private pilots without an instrument rating.
On the student pilot issue, the only relevant regulation I know of is the one that requires at least 3 miles visibility and visual contact with the surface. So long as a student pilot can meet those limitations, I see nothing the the regs to prohibit it.
Less that 500' below the clouds with 50 miles visibility to enter Class D airspace and land? Sure. Why not.
FWIW, though, the answer when the question comes up on a CFI FIRC quiz is "no." I've had a discussion with this with Gleim and the theory (other than "the guy at the FSDO who okays the test makes us do it this way") seems to be that unless you are permitted to do
everything that you are permitted to do under the clearance, you can't of any of it.
