Dress Code Students at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor are given the responsibility to dress appropriately and in accordance with the university’s standard of Christian ethics. Within these parameters, students are expected to avoid personal appearance that is distracting while concurrently meeting additional rules related to special events or occasions such as chapel, graduation, or other ceremonies. Clothing which displays sexually suggestive materials, or advocates alcohol, drug use, profanity, tobacco, racism, or other concepts in conflict with Christian principles are strictly prohibited. Faculty may publish in the syllabus specific expectations regarding dress code for attendance in class. The absence of more specific rules on standards of dress does not excuse students from the duty to exercise individual responsibility for appropriate dress as a member of a Christian academic community.
