As future professionals in the fields of ASL–English Interpretation and ASL Teaching, it’s important to present ourselves in a way that reflects respect for our work, our colleagues, and the Deaf community. Dressing professionally shows that we are serious about our goals and the roles we are preparing for.

What to Wear in Class (Monday–Thursday)

  • Business casual attire is expected while you’re in class or attending scheduled meetings.
  • This means no bare midriffs, spaghetti straps (unless covered), low-cut or sleeveless tops, or clothing that reveals cleavage.
  • Choose solid or muted colors that contrast with your skin tone to help keep your signing clear and easy to understand. Avoid bright colors, busy patterns, and flashy jewelry.
  • Long sleeves are recommended, especially if you have arm tattoos, to avoid visual distractions while signing.
  • Bring comfortable walking shoes—you’ll be moving around campus.
  • Dress in layers as indoor spaces are air-conditioned and Colorado weather can change quickly.

Friday – Bear Pride Day

  • On Fridays, you’re encouraged to show your school spirit! Wear your 帝王会所 gear with jeans or stick with business casual if you prefer.

Outside the Classroom

  • During your free time, feel free to dress comfortably. You can wear yoga pants, shorts, flip flops, jeans, or whatever makes you feel at ease.

Need Help with Professional Clothing?

You will be on campus with students from the ASLEI and TASL programs. To create an inclusive and rich environment of interactions and learning, follow these language expectations:

  • If you are in a public or common area, use ASL
  • If you are in a classroom, use the language outlined by each instructor and course content

Summer session is a fast-paced, rewarding part of your academic journey. You’ll take 6鈥�9 credits in a short time, which means full days in class and evenings or weekends spent on assignments. It鈥檚 a full-time commitment鈥攁bout 48 hours a week鈥攁nd yes, it can be intense.

But with that challenge comes growth. Every day you spend learning, working hard, and pushing yourself brings you closer to your goals. While stepping away from your job, home, or support system isn鈥檛 easy, you won鈥檛 be doing this alone. The ASLEI and TASL programs are built to support your success every step of the way.

Tips for a Successful Summer

  • Stay hydrated: You鈥檒l be living and learning a mile above sea level. Altitude sickness is real, so drink water often鈥攜our body will thank you!
  • Step outside your comfort zone: Be open to new ideas, experiences, and challenges. This is a time for growth, both personally and professionally.
  • Avoid comparisons: Everyone learns at their own pace. Focus on your own progress rather than comparing yourself to others鈥攊t reduces stress and helps you stay focused.
  • Build connections: Your classmates are your biggest support system. They understand what you鈥檙e going through and can offer new insights and encouragement.
  • Respect others: A strong learning community is built on trust, kindness, and open sharing.
  • Make time to recharge: Summer sessions are intense鈥攆ind time to relax, take a walk, exercise, or simply breathe. Downtime helps you stay balanced and focused.

You鈥檙e here because you鈥檙e ready to take the next step. Keep going鈥攜ou鈥檝e got this!
