The student's personal life will be in harmony with conduct expected by the School and the Church. The use of tobacco, alcohol, or other harmful substances is not consistent with citizenship as a student. Also, it is to be understood that it is the policy of the University that faculty and students are not to attend secular, professional or business meetings during the hours of Sabbath when acting as representatives of, or identified as, LLU students or faculty members. There are no formal educational activities on Sabbath but students are required to participate in patient care activities on Sabbath as part of the medical team. Weekend assignments usually do not exceed three consecutive weekends.
Clerkships provide students who are on weekend call time off to attend worship services.
C. Standards for appearance and apparel Students at Loma Linda University are expected to maintain an appearance at all times which is consistent with the highest professional standards and which projects to the public an image of cleanliness, competence and professionalism. The image should be modest and consistent with the mission and philosophy of Loma Linda University. Grooming and style should also be practical so as to enable one's duties to be performed without embarrassment, or inconvenience, or threat to safety. If a woman chooses to wear earrings they should not drop below the bottom of the earlobes and be limited to one per ear. Earrings are not permitted for men.
