Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Department of Nutrition 2024–2025 246 Those failing to comply may be dismissed from the classroom and/or campus, and a written warning describing the infraction will be entered into the student’s file. When participating in clinical assignments or program events, working in the campus buildings, and/ or attending classes, students may not wear • shorts • cutoffs • miniskirts (higher than just above the knee) • jeans (all colors) • see-through clothing, tank tops or halter-tops • open-toed shoes, sandals, flip-flops • T-shirts (as the outer shirt) • jogging or exercise clothing • hats or caps, unless of a religious nature Jewelry, Body Piercing, and Tattoos: Only appropriate jewelry for professional business attire is permitted. Visible body jewelry, such as rings for the nose, eyebrows, lip, chin, cheek, or tongue, is not permitted. Tattoos must be covered by clothing. Identification badges (IDs) are issued at the One-Stop Shop in the Horvitz Administrative Building. Students at the Tampa Bay Regional Campus, or any other NSU regional campus, can order their SharkCard online at nova.edu/nsucard. Badges must be worn and visible at all times when the student is on campus or at a clinical rotation. Please note that ID badges are necessary for proper use of on-campus auditoriums, library and recreational facilities, offices, laboratories, and certain restricted parking areas. These badges are given to the students at no charge, except for replacement. Students inappropriately dressed or groomed may be dismissed from the classroom and/or the clinical site and be referred to the SPAC. Noncompliance with the dress code requirements may be designated in a student’s performance record. Repeated violations will be considered improper professional behavior and may result in disciplinary action. When a class requires special dress (such as the wearing of scrub suits in laboratory), it will be the only exception to the dress code allowed during that time. The dress code is to be observed at all times, including examination periods. 2. Dress Code in the Clinical Setting and on Clinical Rotations Students must present themselves in professional attire and must have their university identification (ID) at all times. This means a white coat, a dress or slacks/skirt with blouse, shirt and tie, dress pants, and dress shoes that completely protect the foot. On some rotations, students may be permitted to wear scrubs. This is typically for clinical rotations that require the students to be in the patient care setting. This will be at the discretion of the preceptor and any violations will be reported to the program office.
