LASU Dress Code for Students: What Constitutes Indecent Dressing

 LASU Dress Code: The school authorities have released the typed of dress that is regarded as indecent dressing and warns candidates to avoid those dressing within the campus. 

The school authorities have released the types of dress that are regarded as indecent dressing and warn students to avoid those dressing styles within the campus. The management of LASU has observed that some students are violating the University Rules and Regulations on what constitutes indecent dressing on campus, and these acts by the students have sometimes been tolerated by staff (teaching and non-teaching).

In view of this, students are hereby reminded of what constitutes indecent dressing while on the University campuses Ojo, Ikeja, Epe and Badagry. Students are also enjoined to beware of the consequences of their actions as the full enforcement of the University rule has commenced.

LASU reiterates guidelines and policies on indecent dressing for the 2025/2026 matriculation ceremony

The LASU, Ojo, has issued a formal reminder to all newly admitted students that indecent dressing will not be tolerated during the 2025/2026 matriculation ceremony, scheduled for Monday, 1st December 2025. This directive reaffirms the University’s commitment to enforcing its dress code across all campuses. Students particularly those in 100 Level and Direct Entry must appear in decent and acceptable attire for the matriculation ceremony. The University will not condone any form of dressing deemed indecent or inappropriate on the day.

For the avoidance of doubt and emphasis, the following constitute indecent dressing in the University and will not be permitted at the matriculation ceremony:

▪ Coloured hair
▪ Excessively long hair (hair length should not go beyond chest level)
▪ Dreadlocks or unkempt, overgrown hair
▪ Long artificial fingernails
▪ Skimpy dresses
▪ Dresses that expose cleavage or the upper part of the body
▪ “Crazy” or torn jeans
▪ Nose piercing or the use of multiple earrings

These listed styles align with earlier LASU circulars prohibiting skimpy outfits, tattered jeans, revealing clothing, extreme hairstyles, and body piercings as part of the University’s broader efforts to curb indecent dressing. Students are strongly advised to comply fully with these guidelines to avoid embarrassment or being restricted from the matriculation venue and other University activities.

The following constitute inappropriate modes of dressing by students which shall attract sanctions from the University:

▪ Wearing transparent dresses, mini and skimpy skirts/dresses, and other clothes revealing sensitive parts of the body.
▪ Wearing tattered, dirty jeans with holes or obscene subliminal messages.
▪ Wearing “baggy”, “saggy”, “yansh”, “ass level”, and any other form of indecent trousers.
▪ Wearing tight-fitting clothes; clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body.
▪ Wearing shirts and tops with obscene, obnoxious, or seductive inscriptions.
▪ Wearing shirts without buttons, improperly buttoned, with rolled sleeves, or flying collars.
▪ Wearing face caps or completely covering the face (e.g., very dark glasses).
▪ Piercing of body and tattooing.
▪ Wearing earrings and necklaces by male students.
▪ Wearing nose rings, very large dangling earrings, and necklaces by students.
▪ Wearing distracting, noisy shoes like stiletto heels to lecture rooms and the Library.
▪ Plaiting, weaving, or bonding of hair by male students.
▪ Wearing slippers.
▪ Wearing loud, unkempt, extremely voluminous hair, colored artificial hair, brightly tinted hair/eyelashes/brows, fixing long eyelashes, or artificial dreadlocks.
▪ Fixing long nails.

It is important to note that any student who violates the dress code in the University will be sanctioned accordingly. Any student found violating any of these rules will be made to face the students’ Disciplinary Committee.
