DRESS GUIDELINES
The School of Business and Economics expects all members of its community to
dress in a manner that demonstrates respect and professionalism. Dressing appropriately
is considered a part of the learning process. To that end,
• Wednesday of each week is Professional Dress Day. On Wednesday, all
students are required to dress professionally, as they would for a job interview.
• On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, attire in the SBE should be
that which is normally expected of professional members of society in a casual
setting.
The above standards imply that some attire is inappropriate in the classroom setting. Those items listed below provide an overview of clothing NOT recommended for the RJ Reynolds Center or SBE functions and/or events.
• Baggy trousers that reveal undergarments
• Undershirts (“wife beaters”) without a top shirt
• Any outfit without a shirt, top, or blouse
• Du rags and head rags for men and women
• Hats and caps for men and women
• Curlers, rollers, head rags, and other items used to groom the hair
• Shirts worn as head wraps
• Hoodies with hoods over the head while inside the building
• Bodysuits, micro-mini shirts, midriff shirts, see-through blouses, low
cut blouses, tight fitting tops and blouses, and/or other such attire that reveal
cleavage
• Intimate apparel worn as outerwear
• Clothing, jewelry, hats and/or garments or other accessories displaying
obscene or offensive language, gestures, and/or profanity
If an instance occurs wherein a student feels that a request regarding the dress guidelines is unreasonable, the student should first adhere to the request of the faculty or staff member, and then follow up with a written document addressed to the SBE dean.
Common sense and good judgment should guide dress decisions for special events.
