Seeing a lot of questions about the Student Version lately. Here is the TL;DR.

A: You can’t. There is no official tool. The only fix is to completely recreate the drawing from scratch in a commercial license or use -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD (but that often retains the stamp on Civil 3D objects). Don't trust random "cleaner" scripts from the internet—they violate the license agreement.
A: Functionally? No. It has all the tools (corridors, pressure networks, storm sewers). Legally? Yes.
