2023-2024 Dress Code

Dress Code

Students must be in dress code in Academic Buildings: 

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday: 7:30 a.m.-3:25 p.m.
Wednesday: 7:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (Walker’s Wear)

Students’ clothing should not limit their ability to be mobile as their learning environment may shift from indoors to outdoors. We expect students to arrive to class having taken a complete inventory of their attire to be sure they are dressed to learn in an active environment. 

A student who is out of dress code will be issued a dress code violation notification. Three such notifications will result in a detention. Students out of dress code will be expected to find an appropriate change of clothes that complies with the dress code. Additional dress code items may be found in the Student Life Office.
