Inquiring minds want to know…

Is there a dress code?

All students are required to follow Bio-Med’s dress code:

  • Students must wear:
    • Polo shirts with a collar or a button-down dress shirt. They can be long or short-sleeved and must be of solid color. There may not be any writing or images on the shirts.
    • Khaki/trouser pants or jeans with no holes or shredding. They may be any solid color.  Pants must be worn at the waist. No leggings, jeggings, skirts, or skorts
    • Student ID on lanyard or clip must be visible at all times.
