Traditional Student Attire

Traditional Student Attire

Traditional Cal Maritime students will follow a dress code for classroom attire which includes a Cal Maritime polo shirt, Cal Maritime jacket, and Cal Maritime black fleece pull-over. Students may wear solid-colored, plain black, brown, khaki or tan slacks, pants or trousers from a manufacturer of the student’s choice.

The purpose of a dress code for our traditional university students is multifaceted. It is to:

• Create a sense of unity across the entire student body;
• Allow for a meaningful shared experience among all students enrolled at Cal Maritime;
• Maintain a common appearance that reflects the values, traditions and history of the institution;
• Uphold Cal Maritime learning standards of personal accountability and responsibility;
• Reduce opportunity for distractions in the learning environment where cadets and traditional students are learning together; and
• Uphold the Cal Maritime brand, standards, and reputation that industry and future employers value in and expect of Cal Maritime graduates.
