Dress and Appearance

ECPI encourages students to acquire a wardrobe suitable for their employment objectives. A student’s dress and appearance shall be appropriate at all times and respectful of other students, faculty, and staff. 

The University wants students to feel comfortably dressed while attending classes yet their attire must be appropriate for a professional environment. 

Students pursuing an education in the College of Health Science and the College of Culinary Arts will adhere to a specific dress code as prescribed by the individual program.

University expectations will not conflict with applicable federal or local statutes, including those prohibiting discrimination based on national origins or religious belief.

Professional Dress Day. Although expected professional dress varies by field, students should dress professionally when engaging in job search activities such as interviewing, networking, externships, or professional events including career fairs. 

Each campus of ECPI University has a designated Professional Dress Day. By focusing on personal appearance, the required professional dress days will help students learn what constitutes professional dress attire and become more comfortable in professional dress attire.
