STUDENT APPEARANCE –
Policy 10:27:05 [12 Heartfire 4e202]

POLICY STATEMENT:

The College of Winterhold strives to maintain a harmonious and serene atmosphere which is conducive to the learning of the highest art. In order for all students to feel confident and safe, the College shall in its discretion impose dress code regulations to promote an atmosphere of learning.

A student mage’s appearance– including dress and grooming– must not disrupt the educational process, compromise reasonable standards of health, safety, or decency; or interfere with the learning environment. All student mages are expected to observe basic standards of hygiene and modesty.

While the College acknowledges the diversity of taste, fashion, anatomical differences, and individual preference, it expects that all participants in the education process shall dress and behave in such a manner as to reflect the College’s professional atmosphere:

 

A REMINDER AS TO GENERAL STANDARDS:

The College of Winterhold absolutely prohibits clothing which depicts images of necromancy or anthropophagy; has sexual or obscene connotations; which advocates ethnic or racial or interspecies violence and/or superiority; or which reveals the primary or secondary sexual organs; or which has the primary purpose of eliciting sexualized behavior.

The College of Winterhold Arcaneum, Lustratorium, Hall of Elements, Shalidor Auditorium, Botanical Gardens, Direnni Great Hall, and Saint Jiub Commemorative Exhibit Hall are all areas designated for the use of visitors to the College. Academic and/or professional attire in these areas is mandated at all times.

The staff/student areas (restricted areas) of the Arcaneum and the Lustratorium shall require academic and/or professional attire between the hours of 9:00 am and 8:00 pm. All persons entering the Lustratorium must wear closed-toe shoes and clothing which provides full torso and limb coverage.

One small religious amulet of the student’s choice shall be permitted; but that amulet is to be worn beneath the student’s robes at all times. It is not to be displayed to other persons for any reason.

First-year student mages must comport with standards of public decency whilst on College grounds or whilst in the semi-private areas of the residential towers. Full nudity is permitted only in a student mage’s own quarters (with door closed), in the designated changing areas (with door closed); and in Student Baths A and C. All visitors to Student Bath B must wear bathing-garments at all times. Students going to and from the bathing areas from private quarters must wear robes or full-coverage dressing gowns and footwear at all times.

Clothing or accessories, including weapons, which may damage College property are not permitted. This shall include the following items: belt chains or other metallic items which may abrade benches or seats; dangling pouches with metalwork; ballocks-daggers; or excessively lengthy weapons or weapon-sheathes. Fire scrolls, staves, and the like are strictly off-limits and may not be stored in student housing. Any such items must be turned over to the custody of the Student Proctors.
