How do I have to dress for class?

Students must appear neat and well groomed at all times. Each campus provides all students with the required uniform, including jackets, pants, shoes, aprons, scrubs and hats (depending on program). Long hair must be pinned up under the hat. Proper hygiene is particularly important in classes. Students are responsible for keeping themselves and their uniforms clean at all times. Fingernails must be trimmed to a moderate length and must be well manicured. The use of nail polish is not permitted. Men with beards and/or mustaches must keep them trimmed. For safety reasons, only necessary equipment and materials may be brought into the kitchens, clinics and classrooms. Watches and wedding rings are the only items of jewelry that may be worn. Students who are improperly dressed will not be admitted to class and will be marked absent for the day.

What if I need a leave of absence?

Approval of such leave of absence shall be made in writing to the Director. No monetary charges or accumulated absences may be assessed to the student during a leave of absence.
