Campus Recreation strives to maintain a clean, safe, and inclusive environment while honoring personal workout clothing preferences.

• While using Campus Recreation facilities a top, shorts or pants, and athletic, non-marking shoes, unless specifically designated for the area, are required.
• Tops must cover the chest area and bottoms must cover the buttocks past the gluteal crease.
• Clothing that is deemed unsafe will be addressed by department staff.
