ing off-campus activities and any time on Metro Tech property.
LOCKERS
• Student lockers are provided in required areas. Students shall have no expectation of privacy in
school lockers. Lockers are subject to search by school administrators, teachers or campus security.
• Student lockers may be inspected and/or searched at any time with or without reasonable suspicion
of a violation of a school rule, prior notice, the student’s presence or the student’s consent to such a
search. By acceptance of the assignment of a school locker or by using any locker, the student
consents to any and all inspections and searches, and acknowledges that he/she has no expectation
of privacy in such locker.
• A student shall use only the locker specifically assigned to him/her. Student lockers should be kept
locked. The student assigned the locker shall be presumed to be the owner of any legal or illegal
items in his/her assigned locker. A student who feels, for any reason, that he/she cannot abide by
these rules should decline to accept assignment of a school locker. Refer to “Search/Seizure.”
• Do not share lockers or lock combinations.
DRESS CODE
The goal for all students is to represent Metro Tech in the best possible light at all times. You are an example
to the community and your peers. A professional style of dress does not interfere with work or create a dis-
traction in the learning environment. You are expected to present yourself in a professional manner at Metro
Tech. Some programs may require the purchase of uniforms. See instructor for details.
Site directors may make additional clothing recommendations or restrictions at their discretion. Students in
some career majors will need to wear protective clothing as designated by the instructor. Failure to wear such
protective clothing will limit your ability to participate in the career major.
