Mason held a virtual graduation for the entire Class of 2020 on Dec. 17. If you missed the livestream, you can watch the video.
Congratulations, Graduates! You've Accomplished Your Goals
We wish we could have been together to celebrate in person, but your accomplishments are all the more impressive because of the difficult circumstances under which you achieved them. The obstacles you’ve overcome have only made you stronger.
As you watch this virtual ceremony, we hope you feel the pride we have in you. You’re sure to make your mark on the world, and we salute you.
This event features messages of congratulation, musical performances, speakers, degree conferral, and more.

Mailed Programs Might Be Delayed
If you submitted your form for a mailed program, Mason shipped them on December 7. However, due to the volume of holiday mailings and Covid-19 safety requirements, mail deliveries can take longer than expected. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to track each individual program. If you don't receive a program by mid-January, you can get up to two programs on one of our campuses.

Share Your Creativity and Celebrate Your Achievement with a Decorated Cap or Poster
Many Mason graduates highlight their individuality and diversity through a creatively decorated cap.
Because our ceremony will be virtual this year, we’re offering you the chance to create a virtual decorated cap.
Share yours via the hashtag #MyMasonCap.
You can also download and personalize a poster to share your news.
