• Solid white dress shirt, dark colored tie, solid black dress slacks, solid black dress shoes.

• Solid black dress, skirt or slacks, solid  black appropriate dress shoes

• Shoes - SOLID black dress shoes only.

• Approved Regalia Only - Only stoles, cords, and medallions awarded by CMCSS or the State of Tennessee are permitted.  

• Graduation caps are worn flat on the top of your head, not on the back of your head. Nothing is to be written on your graduation cap or gown. When you pick up your gown, hang it up to remove the wrinkles.

• If any of these items are an issue, please talk with your advisor no later than April 15th

• As you enter the Dunn Center, your attire will be checked by faculty members. If you are not dressed according to the dress code, you will not be permitted to walk.

Please note- If a debt is owed to CMCSS students will not receive their diploma until it is paid.

As always, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.
