WNU Graduation Policy

Successful completion of a World Nuclear University’s (WNU) programme and membership in the Alumni Network brings prestige and respect throughout the nuclear industry. Alumni are offered the opportunity for support throughout their career as a leader. As such, all those involved in WNU programmes and activities are expected to embody the industry's standards of excellence and display the behaviours and attitudes associated with them.

To join the ranks of our prestigious Alumni, each individual must demonstrate understanding and adherence to the programme culture, values and Policies; this includes, but is not limited to, upholding the WNU Culture Core Values, modelling the behaviours and attitudes associated with them and demonstrating development and knowledge acquisition in alignment with the programme aims and objectives.

All participants will start the programme with full eligibility to graduate; ineligibility may result if any given participant fails to demonstrate the following:

  • 95% attendance in alignment with the World Nuclear University Attendance and Absence Policy
  • Active participation and engagement with the programme sessions and related activities
  • Performance aligned with the programme objectives, model and culture aims
  • Adherence to the following policies (‘Sexual harassment and Sexual violence’, ‘Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment’, ‘Code of Conduct’, ‘Code of Ethics’, ‘Privacy Policy’ or the ‘COVID Policy’)**
  • Understanding of and adherence to the behavioural expectations associated with the WNU Culture**

**This applies both during and outside of the scheduled programme hours and to any individual the participant might interact with during their participation, regardless of their involvement with the programme.

Your progress will be evaluated on an ongoing basis through a comprehensive set of resources that include inputs from self, peer, mentor (if applicable) and programme administrators (the Leadership and Capacity Development staff). Any concerns will be raised with the individuals involved at the earliest possible opportunity, and all interactions will be documented and dated by the Leadership and Capacity Development (L&CD) Team. Repeated breaches could result in a Behavioural Modification Request.

Violation of any of the WNU policies will immediately result in a Behavioural Modification Request. Additionally, the individuals responsible for said violation may be asked by the L&CD Team to withdraw from the programme immediately, depending on the severity of the incident. Not addressing the concerns raised in a Behavioural Modification Request and failing to demonstrate the agreed-upon modifications could result in illegibility to graduate. The meeting request process is outlined in Appendix A of this policy.
