NCA Employer Event Business Casual Dress Code

All on-campus, employer events coordinated through NCA have a business casual dress code, including:

Career fairs
Information sessions
Networking nights
Coffee chats
Workshops

Please note that the dress code for employer interviews is business professional. (See an infographic that illustrates the differences between business casual and business professional dress - JPG.)


What Business Casual IS	What Business Casual is NOT
Tops Collared, button down shirts that are tucked in Blouses or shirts with a conservative cut Sweaters or cardigans Bottoms Khaki or dark pants with a belt Skirts or dresses that fall below fingertips	Formal suit Blazer with tie Jeans Shorts Athletic attire Gym shoes Flip flops

Employers are aware of the business casual dress code and are encouraged to also dress in business casual attire, if they do not do so already. There is no competitive advantage to wearing business formal attire (suits, ties, heels) at business casual events.
