Monmouth University’s commencement ceremony celebrates the achievements of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral candidates with time‑honored traditions in academic regalia. Held annually on the Monmouth University campus, the commencement event includes processional, keynote address, degree conferral, and recessional. Graduates wear a traditional graduation cap and graduation gown as part of the official academic regalia.
All candidates for graduation are required to wear the approved graduation gown and mortarboard cap. Tassels are assigned by degree level and academic discipline to distinguish bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral candidates. Bachelor’s tassels are typically black or school color, while master’s and doctoral tassels may include gold or discipline‑specific accents to reflect the degree earned. Faculty regalia features doctoral robes with velvet panels and distinctive hoods in colors corresponding to the field of study.
Monmouth University recognizes academic excellence and organizational membership with honor cords and stoles. Graduates earning Latin honors (cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude) receive honor cords in designated colors. Additional stoles represent membership in honor societies, student leadership roles, or cultural organizations, each with unique color schemes consistent with national society guidelines. Honor cords and stoles are worn over the graduation gown during the ceremony.
Faculty members wear full academic regalia with hoods indicating their highest degree and alma mater colors. Doctoral robes include velvet trim and elaborate tassels, which contribute to the ceremonial atmosphere.
