The University recognizes that students participate in a variety of activities on campus, including classes, official functions, athletic events, worship services, and residential life. Expectations for appropriate dress may differ depending on the setting. As a community, we rely on students to exercise sound judgment in selecting attire that reflects modesty, respect for others, and practical considerations such as weather.
To maintain a positive and respectful environment, the following standards apply:
- Clothing Messaging: Attire displaying language, images, or symbols contrary to the University’s values is not permitted.
- Sleepwear: Pajamas and other sleepwear are restricted to residence halls and should not be worn in classrooms, the dining hall, or other campus facilities.
- Swimwear: Swimsuits or similar attire are not appropriate in campus facilities or outdoor spaces, except in designated areas for athletic or recreational use.
If a garment is determined to be offensive or inappropriate by a University official, the student is expected to comply immediately with the request to change.
Please note that academic programs, athletic teams, and University-sponsored events may establish additional dress requirements specific to their contexts. Students are responsible for adhering to these expectations as communicated.
