Validation Rule for Two Character States

Hey all, 

I have the following rule that works well:

AND(
NOT ISBLANK(MailingState),
LEN(MailingState )<>2
)


However, I need to exclude two record types called 'student' and 'professional' - how can I do that here without breaking the rule?

Thanks!

Try this one :-

AND(
NOT ISBLANK(MailingState),
LEN(MailingState)<>2,
RecordTypeId <>'15 digit student rec type id',
RecordTypeId <>'15 digit professional rec type id'
)

RecordTypeId!='15 digit professional rec type id'
)
