2024-2025 Student Handbook 59 called upon to enforce a Seminary-issued no contact order. Additionally, a student always has the option of seeking a legal order of protection from the court if he or she deems such protection necessary. Drug and Alcohol Policy See Community Values and Behavioral Commitments Dress Code With the diversity of backgrounds represented in the Denver Seminary community, the question of appropriate dress is occasionally raised. Generally, the seminary's expectations and standards are that of "good taste" and "appropriate dress for the appropriate occasion." Nevertheless, students are expected to maintain neat and proper dress that does not attract undue attention to themselves and does not inappropriately expose midriffs, backs, or undergarments. Bathing suits are not appropriate attire for any of the classroom or administrative buildings on campus, and shoes must be worn at all times. Apparel that contains vulgarity or vulgar graphics is considered inappropriate. Weapons and Explosives Policy Colorado State Law strictly prohibits the possession, storage, or use of all weapons, or explosives on campus property including, but not limited to, firearms, ammunition, pellet guns, air guns, paintball guns, stun guns/Tasers, smoke producing devices, bows/arrows, large knives, swords, spears, bludgeons, explosives, or fireworks. It is a violation of the Seminary's policy to possess or store any of the above items on Denver Seminary property or in any campus buildings, including vehicles parked on campus property or at any Seminary sponsored activities, even if the bearer possesses a valid concealed weapons permit (or other lawful permission to carry a weapon) without express written permission of the Seminary. Certified law enforcement personnel, however, may carry their department issued handgun on campus if required by their responsibilities as a law enforcement officer. The possession of non‐lethal self‐defense instruments (for example, OC gas or pepper spray) is permitted; however, the reckless use of such devices may be considered a violation of this policy. Additionally, any plausible written or verbal statement, threat, or evidence that a community member possesses a weapon, explosive or other prohibited item may be responded to as an actual threat, whether a weapon or explosive exists.
