The statutes state that membership of the University proper is for life: https://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/so/pdfs/2024/statuteb.pdf

Membership of the University is for life, or until resignation, or until deprivation by decision
of a University court, disciplinary panel or any body granted authority in Ordinance to assess capability
to study, 1 or for non-payment of fees as set out in Ordinance.
