While we do not have a uniform, for safety reasons our students should, at all times, dress appropriately during their time here at the Institute. All students should be properly covered at all times, displaying levels of tact and professionalism. For example, you must not expose your midriff, chest, upper thigh or show visible cleavage or undergarment; you must not wear clothes that are transparent (see-through) and your clothes must not bear any vulgar, offensive or obscene prints or language. The baggy look is not appropriate as this can be a safety hazard with machinery.
When on the farm or greenhouse, personal protective equipment (ppe): proper water boots, or boots are a must, flip flops and slippers are not allowed. Coveralls or overalls type gear are a must. The farm manager will not allow you on the farm without them. For the lab, lab coats, and closed shoes are also mandatory. Marine Science students should be prepared to get wet, so bring the appropriate and discretional attire. Remember that you are here to work, to learn and to get your hands dirty and your feet wet! The Institute will not be liable for any personal damage due to your negligence and disobedience. Students can be prevented from participating in class if they are not properly attired.
