student advisors are required to be appropriately dressed and groomed at all Upward Bound activities and functions. T-shirts with inappropriate messages and pictures are prohibited. Revealing clothing, to include bare or open back tops, bare mid-riffs, low cut pants (hip-huggers), very high shorts or skirts, spaghetti strap tops, tank tops/undershirts, see-through clothing and any other items that may be risqué is completely inappropriate and unacceptable.
