Let’s Celebrate the Class of 2020!
Celebrate the Class of 2020 by sharing words of wisdom and downloading our special social graphics. While commencement may look a little different this year—and a future in-person ceremony is still the plan—Monmouth University is proud to honor our graduating students and all of their hard work and dedication. We hope that graduates, families, and members of the Hawk family will join us in celebrating this milestone achievement.
For All Members of the Hawk Family
20 Words for the Class of 2020
Monmouth University alumni, employees, parents, and friends are encouraged to share 20 words of encouragement, congratulations, and support for the Class of 2020. Visit monmouth.edu/alumni/20-for-20 to share your best wishes for the newest Monmouth graduates. Your words of wisdom will be shared on the Monmouth Alumni social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) and on the main University channels. The deadline to submit is May 12.
For Graduates and Their Families
Celebrate on Social
Celebrate your accomplishments and share your Monmouth pride with our special commencement mobile and desktop wallpapers, printable posters, social media cover photos, picture frames, and GIF stickers.

For Graduates
Caps and Gowns
The University will be communicating with graduates shortly about requesting a cap and gown packet to be mailed directly to your home. Be sure to check your student email in the coming days.
Diplomas
Students will be receiving their degrees in both digital and paper format provided all university obligations are met. Information regarding the certified electronic credential can be found on the Registrar’s website. Electronic credentials will be available within a few days of the originally scheduled graduation date (May 13 or 14), and students will receive an email with download information. Paper diplomas will be mailed to students directly about two weeks after graduation.
Monmouth University remains committed to conducting in-person commencement ceremonies to celebrate the achievements of all of our graduates when it is deemed safe to do so by the State of New Jersey and public health professionals. Please continue to regularly check your student email account for updates.
