Students are responsible for checking and replying to all faculty member communication through email and Canvas on a regular basis (i.e., at least daily). Failure to do so may result in the student being referred to the CSP for unprofessional behavior. Professional D.P.T. Program—Fort Lauderdale Student Dress Code Students are expected to strictly adhere to dress code standards. Students must always wear their student ID/name tag while on campus or at NSU-sponsored activities. Students should always be well groomed, with long hair tied back and out of face. Fingernails should be 1/8 inch or less in length, and minimal nondangling jewelry may be worn. Required footwear for all program-related activities includes nonskid, closed-toe, supportive shoes, such as sneakers, worn with socks. Students are required to be dressed in one of the three uniforms outlined below, based on the nature of the activity being performed. Scrub uniform—For most classes, students wear pewter gray scrub set with first and last name embroidered in 0.5-inch-high, white block letters on the left upper corner of the scrub top. Scrub top must be worn on the outermost layer so that embroidered name is visible. Lab uniform—For most labs, students must wear the designated lab uniform, which includes the gray PT lab shirt with NSU logo, and program approved navy-colored shorts. Students should wear a modest sports bra. Faculty members will decide whether scrubs or lab uniform will be required, based on the nature of the lab activities. Students, however, should always have the lab uniform available. Lab clothes may only be worn on the second floor of the HPD library building. On all other areas of campus, students should be dressed in scrubs or clinic uniform. Clinic uniform—For clinical experiences and community-based activities, the uniform is professional dress, including navy blue NSU PT polo shirt and khaki slacks (no capris). Students who do not adhere to the dress code policy will be asked to leave class or activity and may be given a Notice of Professional Behavior (NUB) and/or referred to the CSP. Professional D.P.T.
