Entry Eighteen

The dress code of the University of the Southern Caribbean is informed by the traditionally accepting understanding of modesty and decency, as understood by the Seventh- day Adventist Church. On this premise, USC students are expected to dress and behave appropriately at all times, on campus or off campus, or in any off – campus activity conducted under the auspices of the University.

Women are allowed to wear:

• ·          Loose fitting, full – length pants
• ·         Knee length skirts
• ·         Loose fitting tops, cap sleeves

Extreme immodesty and extravagance is not allowed which includes:

• ·         Low riders (hipsters) pants and skirts and their kind, ALL JEANS PANTS, tights and their kind are prohibited in the classrooms, the Library, the Cafeteria, and campus office.
• ·         Short skirts and dress ( any garment more than an inch above the knee)
• ·         Short tops that reveal the waistline and navel
• ·         Shorts/three quarter pants (men and women)
• ·         Sleeveless tops and dresses, halter back, tube tops, or spaghetti straps
• ·         Low necklines that reveal the breast and cleavage

• ·         Tight fitting or transparent clothing
• ·         Conspicuous make- up such as brightly coloured lipstick, rogue, eye shadow, eyeliners and nail polish must not be worn.

The dress code or what not to be worn is what is worn by majority of the female of the campus, they wear the tightest, shortest, most cleavage and breast outside on at the cafeterias, classrooms, and even some offices. Lecturers and Deans need to enforce the dress code law at this University.
