Dress

BYU-Idaho’s Dress and Grooming Principles and Expectations states that “each student, employee, and volunteer commit to represent the Savior Jesus Christ, the Church, and the Church Educational System…. promote modesty, cleanliness, neatness, and restraint in dress and grooming…. maintain an elevated standard distinctive to educational institutions of the Church of Jesus Christ.” 

Consistent with these principles and expectations, and to help us invite the Spirit, guests are encouraged to wear their Sunday best to all graduation events. 

 While on campus, we invite you to wear,

• Clothing that would cover the temple garment line.
• Clothing that is modest.
• Clothing that is neat and clean.

Sloppy, overly casual, ragged, or extreme clothing is not acceptable.

Please visit the Student Honor Office website for additional information on campus dress and grooming standards.

For Graduates:  The official graduation attire for BYU-Idaho graduates includes a black robe, a black cap, a blue tassel, and a blue BYU-Idaho stole.  Graduates are asked not to modify the graduation robe or cap but are welcome to wear honor cords, leis, or stoles that represent their country or academic field.
