CYC Dress Code
This dress code is designed to help us present ourselves positively and respectfully to each other and the community at large.
THE BASIC CODE:
1. Clothing must cover the “Five Bs:” breasts, bellies, backs, bottoms and boxers.
2. Clothing should never contain references to drugs, alcohol, or sex; nor should they contain offensive language or images.
Remember, you do not always stand straight and still like a pencil. Be sure that your clothes meet these requirements whether you are standing, sitting, or dancing/moving.
This dress code applies at all times, day and night, on campus and around town/off campus.

Backless dresses/shirts are not allowed.
