Alumni

Should Emma Watson be listed here as she's still at the college so not technically an alumni yet? ChevronTango (talk) 11:07, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would say that an alumnus/alumna is someone who has acquired some sort of qualification at a school/college/university/etc., but it rather looks as if the word now has a wider meaning which would include someone who spent some time at such an institution whether or not they received any qualification. As for Emma Watson, I see here that she'll have left Worcester by now, if this not-necessarily-reliable-source is to be believed, so she probably could be included in the alumni list. --GuillaumeTell 16:43, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Emma Watson is only a one-year visiting student, she's not an officially Worcester's alumni.

According to the list of http://www.ox.ac.uk/about/oxford-people/famous-oxonians famous oxonians, Watson not included inside the list. Therefore her name was removed from the worcester's notable alumni list.Politsi (talk) 13:34, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Like other Oxford colleges, Worcester regards participants of its Visiting Student Programme for Junior Year Abroad students at American universities as full members of the College, with residency, Junior Common Room membership, and alumni status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.13.182 (talk) 10:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
