REMINDER: UNILORIN RULES REGARDING DRESSINGS 

UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN DRESS CODE

All students are hereby reminded that there is a DRESS CODE put in place by the
University which must be observed. The University is determined to continue to
impact positively on students not only intellectually but also morally in pursuit of its commitment to the development of TOTAL MAN.

To this end, it will award its degrees to only deserving students who have been found
worthy not only in learning but also in character. Students are, therefore, strongly
advised to exhibit good behavior and dress decently at all times
.
MALE STUDENTS SHOULD NOTE THAT;

1. The hair should be neat and well-combed at all times.
2. The hair should not be colored (except if it is a natural color).
3. The hair should be well-kept and groomed always.
4. Haircuts should not carry inscriptions.
5. Curled hair is not acceptable.
6. Artificial dreadlocks, plaiting, weaving, or braiding of hair are not acceptable.
7. Artificial beards must be well-kept.

FEMALE STUDENTS SHOULD NOTE THAT;

1. Weaving, plaiting, braiding, fixing and wig are acceptable.
2. Hair extensions with colors such as Blue, Green, White, Yellow, Red, Pink,

6. Pencil trousers are allowed but must be complemented with tops that cover
   the butt line.

The mode of dressing of a student speaks volumes about him or her. In other words,
one’s appearance influences people’s perception of one’s person. Students should, therefore, always dress responsibly to command respect. All students must refrain from wearing INDECENT CLOTHINGS, if they must be accorded respect and protect their dignity.

EVERY STUDENT MUST HANG STUDENT I.D. CARD ON HIS/HER
NECK
