Students’ right to come to school dressed according to their individual taste is well recognized by the College. However, they are encouraged to use attires that consider the professional character of the College and the sensibility of other members of the multi-cultured academic community. Dressing appropriately is a quality which the College would like to cultivate among students; thus, the College reserves the right to call the attention of students who dress inappropriately, with objective consideration to what is allowed and prohibited based on this written dress code policy.
Providing the most complete training for their professional career, where standards of dressing are required for employment, students are encouraged to practice the values for one’s self, decency, and appropriateness through their campus attire.
Thus, PATTS College of Aeronautics requires all students to wear the prescribed college uniforms from Mondays thru Fridays, except Wednesdays as the College-Shirt Day, from 7:00AM to 9:00PM. This policy is implemented to all male and female students starting on the first day of classes during the regular semesters. Proper casual attire is allowed during Saturdays.
