Provided as a professional resource for Rockford Career College Students

Rockford Career College (RCC) supports having dress guidelines for our students as a way to prepare you to be successful in your future career. The way you present yourself can make all the difference as to how others see you.

We want to help you be in the life-long habit of making the best impression you can in order to give you the greatest chance for success.

As a student here, you represent the college as well as yourself. You are responsible for dressing for success by following the RCC dress guidelines whenever you are on campus. This is designed to foster a professional atmosphere, promote safety, and to prevent distractions. All RCC students are expected to follow our guidelines as specified for the program you are enrolled in. We appreciate your cooperation!
