I got it working, and I’m embarrassed to say the answer was really simple and obvious. I’m assuming pods stores the additional fields right in the user meta – because all I did to fix the issue was call metavalues instead of theuser, like so

//these are the meta_keys for the fields (arrays are object, property. so e.g. $theuser->ID)
	$default_columns = array(
		array("theuser", "ID"),
		array("theuser", "user_login"),
		array("metavalues", "first_name"),
		array("metavalues", "last_name"),
		array("metavalues", "student_name"),

That’s the only change that was needed and presto!

Here’s the part of memberslist-csv.php that I edited, guess this is all it takes.

//add student name column after last name
$csvoutput = "id,username,firstname,lastname,student name,email,billing firstname,billing lastname,address1,address2,city,state,zipcode,country,phone,membership,initial payment,fee,term,joined,expires";

	//these are the meta_keys for the fields (arrays are object, property. so e.g. $theuser->ID)
	$default_columns = array(
		array("theuser", "ID"),
		array("theuser", "user_login"),
		array("metavalues", "first_name"),
		array("metavalues", "last_name"),
		array("metavalues", "student_name"),
		array("theuser", "user_email"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_bfirstname"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_blastname"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_baddress1"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_baddress2"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_bcity"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_bzipcode"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_bzipcode"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_bcountry"),
		array("metavalues", "pmpro_bphone"),
		array("theuser", "membership"),
		array("theuser", "initial_payment"),
		array("theuser", "billing_amount"),
		array("theuser", "cycle_period")
		//joindate and enddate are handled specifically below
	);

Didn’t even need the $student = get_user_meta( $theuser->ID, ‘student_name’, true );
