I do not think it even means "someone graduated".

The definition of "alumni" changes from institution to institution.  If an institution gives an alias to alumni, then 
it is possible that students who only took a few classes are alumni, and therefore can have their edu alias….  

So, nothing can be inferred from the makeup of an email address other than to say that the person using it was, at one 
time, affiliated with this institution (student, employee, donor, etc).  The address really says nothing about the 
current situation of the person.
