Professional Appearance

Each employee should dress in a manner appropriate to his or her position at the College and is expected to represent the College in a positive manner, being well-groomed at all times. While “business casual” is typically the accepted standard of dress for offices, employees should consult with their immediate supervisors for exceptions. Shoes and conventional dress must be worn by employees. Some labs, shops, and workplace settings have specific dress requirements intended to enhance the safety of the employee. For example, steel-toed shoes and fire-resistant clothing may be required in some instances. In others, employees may be asked not to wear loose clothing, long-sleeved shirts, or jewelry. Regardless, all dress is expected to be clean, neat, professional, and appropriate for the employee’s position.
