STUDENT DRESS CODE


The Dress Code and Proper Deportment Code is based on the theory that learning to use socially acceptable manners and selecting attire appropriate to specific occasions and activities are critical factors in the total educational process. Understanding and employing these behaviors not only improves the quality of one's life, but also contributes to optimum morale, as well as embellishes the overall campus image. They also play a major role in instilling a sense of integrity and an appreciation for values and ethics.


The continuous demonstration of appropriate manners and dress insures that students meet the very minimum standards of quality achievement in the social, physical, moral and educational aspects of their lives - essential areas of development necessary for propelling students toward successful careers.

Students will be denied admission to various functions if their manner of dress is inappropriate. On this premise, students at Alliance Group Affiliates™ (AGA™) are expected to dress neatly at all times. The following are examples of appropriate dress for various occasions:

  1. Classroom, Cafeteria, Student Center and University offices - neat, modest, casual or dressy attire.

  3. Interviews - business attire.
