DRESS CODE POLICY

Costume College and all CGW events are PG-13 events. Be mindful that we are in public spaces and there will be people present who are not a part of our event.

We love costumes at Costume College, however, costumes are never required. We don’t want to discourage anyone from wearing a costume at the event, but you should be aware of the environment and spaces you are wearing it in, both for your own comfort and to make sure our events remain navigable for all attendees.

Costumes are not needed in classrooms and can be a distraction when attending classes. If you choose to wear a costume during the day, make sure it takes up minimal space (horizontally and vertically) to ensure that everyone is able to fully participate in their class.

Additionally, we ask that you are thoughtful and respectful of others when choosing a costume. Ensembles that demean or mock a culture, lifestyle, or groups of people are not appropriate for our events. Outfits that contain or reference hate speech, crude or offensive language, or sexually explicit content will not be tolerated. Please carefully consider the effect your costume may have on other attendees.

CGW reserves the right to deem a costume unacceptable and request that the wearer make modifications as necessary. If those modifications are unsuccessful or the wearer chooses not to comply with this request, the attendee will be asked to leave the event and no refunds will be issued.
