In The Bible in Matthew's account of the crucifixion of Jesus:

Matt 27:55-57

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

KJV

According to Strong's Concordance, the meaning of disciple in verse 57 is:

1) to be a disciple of one

a) to follow his precepts and instructions

To be a disciple of one, is to be a follower, as in a student of one's teaching.

There is no account in the Bible of Mary Magdalene being a student of Jesus. We see that she was a follower, she was present at his crucifixion, she went to the tomb with his Mother to preserve his body, she was the first person he showed himself to after his resurrection, she reported her sighting to the apostles. We can only assume based on information in the Bible that she was, but we have no actual record.
