STUDENT DRESS CODES

A student’s sense of fashion should be guided by good taste, modesty, and good grooming. Mature discretion should be exercised in the selection of a wardrobe. ORU has on-campus dress code regulations that vary by location, activity, and time. Regular attire regulations are in effect from 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday in the Graduate Center (GC), Learning Resource Center (LRC), Christ’s Chapel, and any class. In addition, regular attire is required during registration. In all other situations, including in the cafeteria, casual attire regulations are in effect.

Winters in Tulsa are often cold, windy, and damp. Each student is advised to bring a warm winter coat, boots for cold and wet weather, gloves, and scarves.

Men

Regular Attire

Men wear collared shirts (including knit shirts and turtlenecks) tucked into dress, corduroy, neat jeans, or khaki pants. Shirts designed to be worn un-tucked are acceptable. Sweaters and sweatshirts may be worn and need to reflect the lifestyle of the University. Clothing must not have any inappropriate writing on it. Suits, blazers, vests, and sport coats are also appropriate. Men may not wear t-shirts or sleeveless shirts, even over collared shirts. Dress and casual shoes are acceptable, including boots, loafers, sandals, flip-flops, and athletic shoes. Fatigues, sweat pants, shorts, jogging pants, hats, and other headwear are not acceptable for male students when in regular attire.

Men are expected to be clean-shaven. Hair should be kept clean, well-groomed, and neat. Exotic hair cuts and unnatural colors are not permitted. Haircuts should allow for half the ear to be showing on the sides. Hair should not touch the back collar. The only permissible facial hair allowed are neatly trimmed mustaches and sideburns, which should be at least a full razor's width from the side of the mouth and must end above the mouth line. Students who are enrolled in only modular and weekend courses are permitted to have neatly trimmed facial hair, including beards.

Casual Attire

Casual dress is less restricted than regular attire; however, it is still modest. T-shirts, sweatpants, and hats are acceptable in situations permitting casual attire; however, shirts must be worn at all times in public on campus, including in the student lounges and Aerobics Center, unless the student is sunbathing or engaged in an outdoor sports activity.

Sunbathing must be done in the designated areas: the hill to the north of the Quad Towers, between Braxton and Gabrielle Christian Salem Halls, and the ball field (except during ball games).
