[edit] Alumni?

The equivalent Cambridge categories have all been renamed "Category:Alumni of Foo College, Cambridge". It's a bit disappointing to see these all created with the cumbersome, awkward-sounding and unusual name "Former Students of Foo College, Oxford". David | Talk 17:53, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Does the term "alumnus" imply that a person actually graduated? If so I vote to keep the current title ("Former students of...") as while trying to add as many people as poss. to the Jesus College category I found at least two who attended the college without completing a degree. I think it's still worth having a note of their connection with the place. --Ed hazell 12:00, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

A dictionary defines an alumnus as a former student, so people who did not graduate are still alumni. For example, students at Templeton College courses like the Senior Executive Programme don't get degrees, but still become Templeton alumni. --Duncan 19:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
