A white lab coat may be worn over the student uniform in the clinical

agency when the student visits departments or picks up client
assignments outside regularly scheduled clinical time.
Makeup should be applied tastefully. The student's hair is to be kept

well-groomed fingernails, without polish, are required during clinical
times. Students may wear wedding and engagement rings and one pair of
