Review Dress Code, Cell Phone & Attendance Policies

Work Study Student Dress Code: Appropriate attire assigned by the department or location. At EFSC, this is general business casual. Business casual is typically defined as dark jeans with no holes or fraying, no shorts, no short dresses or short skirts for women, optional ties for men, and a rotation of button-downs or blouses. Business casual dressing is more about avoiding a list of "don'ts" than following a list of "dos" and can vary slightly depending on style, preference, and gender presentation. For example, Athletics workers may wear shorts and college T-shirts depending on the weather and activity, but they should be neat and without holes or fraying.

Work Study Cell Phone Policy: Cell phones are to be set on mute during work hours unless in case of an emergency. 

Work Study Attendance Policy: Students must sign in and out upon their arrival and departure.
