This page covers classroom dress code only. It is important to point out that hospital and fire internship uniform codes is more strict. For example, males may not have pony tails or man buns. Many fire internship sites will allow an established well trimmed/groomed mustache and/or beard as long as it does not interfere with patient care/safety PPE equipment. But one must be prepared to shave if a fire internship site requires it. Contact the school if you have concerns.
