Alumni of Massey University are those who have graduated from the university with a qualification at any level (certificate, diploma or degree).
Associate Alumni are those who have completed a short course at Massey University, usually one offered by Te Tumu Whakatipu, but who have not completed a full qualification. They would usually be individuals who hold positions that might be of significance to Massey for future engagement. This status is not given to students who have completed a course/paper as part of a qualification.
Honorary Doctorate recipients or Massey Medal recipients are considered alumni within the Alumni Relations database. As notable individuals who are important to the university, they receive standard communications and event invitations sent to all alumni.
