Attending the Florida State Fire College is considered a privilege by many of the students who come here and it is important that no student engage in activities that are disruptive to anyone else's opportunity to learn. General campus policies on dress and conduct are distributed to all students on the first day of class. They are also posted in all classrooms and common areas of the college. Minimum standards students have additional rules that apply to them that are contained in their application and orientation packets.

The College dress code is designed to be practical but appropriate to reflect professional image and pride. Attire such as shorts, open-toed shoes, tank tops, vented shirts and cutoff jeans is considered informal wear, unacceptable for the classroom, and should be restricted to after-hour leisure activities. Clothing with offensive images and slogans is unacceptable. There may be additional clothing requirements for certain courses, which will be communicated by conformation letter. Bunker gear is to be worn only as required in the apparatus building and on the drill field.

Please remember that FSFC students are guests of the community and your conduct is a reflection on the fire service and your organization. All students are asked to appropriately conduct themselves during class sessions and after-hours. Disruptive students will be counseled and may be asked to leave. No alcoholic beverages are permitted on campus. Organized and supervised class events may be conducted with the prior written approval of the Superintendent. Please show consideration for fellow students in the dormitories with respect to noise.

No pets are permitted on campus or in the dorms with the exception of certified service dogs.

Questions regarding College policies should be made through the student's designated chain of command, beginning with the instructor, or through the registration staff. Problems of an immediate nature regarding maintenance should be made to the guest services staff or to the Maintenance Supervisor.
