LOMV Dresscode

Students in the EMU aviation program (LOMV)—as well as their instructors—will be required to adhere to the dress code detailed below. This code shall be in effect when engaged in any official LOMV activity, including but not limited to, classroom instruction, flight training, simulator training, field trips, and public functions. Classroom instructors, flight instructors, and EMU/Aero-Tech staff are authorized to refuse student participation in LOMV activities if dress code requirements are not met.

The LOMV dress code shall  be business casual, which the Oxford Dictionary defines as: “Relating to or denoting a style of clothing that is less formal than traditional business wear, but is still intended to give a professional and businesslike impression.” The LOMV requirements are, specifically:

• Slacks—no jeans, joggers, or sweatpants.
• Shorts may be worn in hot weather but must be of a length that promotes modesty—no short-shorts. 

FOR WOMEN
