RE: Maine alumni game By most Universities' definition, an alum does not have to be a graduate. Some schools call *anyone* who takes a single class an alum, while others require the equivalent of 2-3 years of course work. Very few actually require that piece of paper to qualify. Even those students who transfer to another school retain alumni status at their original school. Alumni status is more a state-of-mind than a degree.
