At Tulsa MET we expect students to dress for real world community experiences, this means casual, yet well groomed, with appropriate clothing. Safety is our utmost priority, and we have high expectations for all students to do their part in carrying their student ID. If students need assistance with clothing or hygiene, please do not hesitate to let a staff member know.
The fact that something is not specifically listed is not a valid excuse for dressing in a manner contrary, or is not complementary to, or respectful of the intent outlined by this uniform code. Students who elect not to conform to the dress and grooming rules set forth by TPS Policy 2601-R, will be subject to disciplinary actions and/or sanctions as defined by the TPS Behavior Response Plan.
ADMINISTRATION RESERVES THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE ANY SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL GARMENT OR ITEM NON-COMPLIANT WITH THE DRESS CODE.
If in doubt, ask before wearing!
