CES Dress and Grooming Expectations

All online instructors and graders who support BYU-Pathway Worldwide commit to upholding the CES Honor Code in their roles as institutional representatives, leaders, and mentors.

Employees teach students through example and counsel how to make choices that exemplify these principles and expectations, while recognizing that the roles of employees and students are distinct from each other, and their choices will reflect these differences. Employees have a higher standard for dress and grooming.

When choosing attire, employees make decisions appropriate for their professional role, responsibilities, purpose, and setting.

• Be neat and clean. Sloppy, overly casual, ragged, or extreme clothing is not acceptable.

Grooming:

• Hair should be clean, neat, modest, and avoid extremes in styles and colors.
• Men's hair should be neatly trimmed. Men should be clean-shaven. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed.
