Apparel

As this is a special event, we request that all students wear formal attire. Formal attire could include short or long dresses, dress suits, tuxedos, dress shoes, etc. Items that are not appropriate for a formal event include flip-flops, athletic shoes, and jeans. 

Students who arrive in clothing deemed inappropriate for a formal event will not be allowed in, regardless of whether or not they purchased a ticket. If you are unsure of the appropriateness of what you plan to wear, please do not hesitate to ask Justin Plummer, Jennifer Ashe, one of the prom coordinators, or your Community Coordinator.

Prom Dress Closet

Years ago, a number of students, alumni, and staff began donating formal wear the could be borrowed by current students to attend Prom. We are pleased to continue offering this option to our students. Prom dresses will be available in the SAB closet second semester and will follow the same hours, which will be posted on the door.

There is no charge for students to borrow from the Prom Dress Closet. We do ask that students dry clean any items they borrow before returning them after prom.

If you have a desire to clean out your closet, a family member’s closet, or just want to provide a great opportunity for an NCSSM student, please bring your clothing to our Prom coordinators, or email prom@ncssm.edu.
