5. Practice living a wholesome lifestyle
Bluefield College values a life that is guided by biblical principles. The bible teaches us to
“be holy in all we do because He who called us is holy” 1 Peter 1:15. Because we desire
to honor Christ in all we do it will impact the way we conduct our lives. Therefore, the
following will serve as guidelines for the Bluefield College Community.
• Maintain a high standard of dress and personal appearance Bluefield College
believes that we should not dress immodestly, provocatively, or in a manner that
calls undue attention to oneself. We believe that dressing modestly encourages
a Christ-like view of our bodies, reflects a healthy body image, and helps foster
a Christian community. We believe that learning to dress appropriately is an
important part of the educational process, and will help students to be able to
function in the world of work after college. The following standards of dress are
required:
1. Students shall display mature discernment as to appropriate dress for all
College sponsored activities. Students shall reflect proper taste, personal
modesty, neatness, and a concern for the feelings of others who want to
actively participate in the learning environment.
2. Shirts are to be worn at all times in classrooms, Chapel, the Shott Hall Cafeteria,
the SAC, or any other public area on campus. Exception will be in the gym and
during intramurals.
3. Clothing with inappropriate advertising, designs, and or logos that are contrary
to the values of Bluefield College is not permitted.
The term “inappropriate” includes, but is not limited to, alcohol or cigarette ads, sexually
explicit sayings or designs, and drug related sayings or designs. Students who do not dress
appropriately should expect to be confronted verbally or in writing by Bluefield College
