Bingham University has a very strict dress code policy for students in line with its rules and regulations and the university is operated under a Christian worldview. According to the school board, dressing adds value to a person’s personality, self-confidence, and self–worth. This saying is very instructive; “The way you dress is the way you will be addressed”. Below is the dress code for both male and female students:
