Dress Code

DRESS CODE PHILOSOPHY

Regis Jesuit students are members of a community with a shared vision. We believe that a dress code unites our students and aids the institution in its goal of forming Men and Women with and for Others. Regis Jesuit students should wear clothing that respects the dignity of self and others and promotes an effective learning and social environment. Any student’s dress or appearance, while not specifically outlined below, may be considered unacceptable if it is in violation of the neatness, moderation, spirit and/or intent of these standards. School-appropriate clothing is always at the discretion of the Deans. 

Regis Jesuit has three Dress Codes: Regular Dress Code, Mass Dress and Raider Day. Details and photographic examples of each are provided below.
