ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Animals on Campus

No animals, with the exception of approved service animals, are allowed on

campus or in campus buildings at any time.

Attire

Student attire should reflect the principles of modesty, respect for fellow students,

staff, faculty, and alumni, as well as personal dignity. We ask that students’

families observe this dress code while on campus.

Body Piercing:

Students may be limited in the wearing of visible body

piercings while officially representing CIU (academic related ministry, athletics,

choir, etc.).

Chapel Participation:

Students who are responsible to lead people in worship

and minister God’s Word should dress appropriately. Questions should be

directed to the associate dean for Student Life.

Classes and Chapels:

Sweats, pajamas, and lounge pants are not permitted at

these times. Footwear is required in all buildings except residence halls.

Sweats, pajamas, and lounge pants are not permitted in

class or in chapel.

General Information:

Clothes should be clean and modest. T-shirts should

not convey inappropriate or questionable messages. Clothing is to be gender

appropriate.

Men:

Modesty is the overriding principle of consideration. Shirts are required

in the presence of women during athletics, recreation, and exercise. Men

are not permitted to wear sleeveless shirts or undershirts (only) to class or

chapel. Hats are to be removed in chapel. Our standard for male hairstyles

requires that hair be neat, clean, and well-kept. Certain departments may

have different requirements while students are representing CIU in an official

capacity.

Swimsuits:

For swimming or sunbathing, tankinis or modestly cut one-piece

bathing suits are required for women, noting that modesty is the expectation

for all suits. Bikinis are not appropriate for women or men.

Women:

Modesty is the overriding principle of consideration. Specific

guidelines for modesty include refraining from wearing any clothing which

is low-cut, tight, see-through, or short. Shorts (with or without leggings

underneath), skirts, and dresses should extend below the fingertips when

standing with arms at one’s side.

Shorts, skirts, and dresses should extend below the

fingertips when standing with arms at one’s side.
