Will,
Two possibilities come to mind.
First, your student could simply use TraditionalForm as the Default Input
FormatType (go to the Cell menu to change this).
Second, if your student wants to stick with StandardForm, then he could
create a rule for MakeExpression as follows:
MakeExpression[SuperscriptBox[m_, "T"], StandardForm] :=
MakeExpression[RowBox[{"Transpose", "[", m, "]"}], StandardForm]
