Dress Appearance Policy Acknowledgment

Because of Ranken’s commitment to the work ethic component of our educational formula, and in consideration of the fact that appearance is vital in achieving career success, the College sets forth Dress Appearance standards for all students attending day programs. In keeping with the neatness and safety requirements of the College, students are required to wear apparel as prescribed by each department while attending classes on campus or during an off-campus college function. 


This Dress Appearance Policy is subject to change at any time for any reason. In the event of a change in policy, the College will take reasonable action to inform any student affected by such change.


Questions and Exceptions: 

Students with questions about the comparability of apparel not purchased from our bookstore should direct such questions to the Vice President for Diversity and Student Success. Exceptions to appearance and dress code may be made for individual students with special circumstances, such as pregnancy, medical conditions, or religious beliefs. These exceptions will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Vice President for Diversity and Student Success.
