Uniforms
The Culinary Arts Department, in cooperation with our campus bookstore at Alfred State, have made available specially imprinted chef coats for culinary arts and baking students to wear while attending classes and lab. We are requiring culinary students to have ten (10) long-sleeved chef coats (unisex or ladies sizes available), four (4) pairs of black chef pants, four (4) black skull caps and two (2) Alfred State polo shirts. Baking students are required to have ten (10) long-sleeved chef coats (unisex or ladies sizes available), four (4) pairs of black chef pants, four (4) black skull caps and one (1) Alfred State polo shirt. Baseball style hats are also available and acceptable to wear for lab. You will be receiving a letter from the Campus Store during the summer with the details regarding purchasing these uniforms. When you receive this information, it is important that you order as soon as possible to ensure you have the uniforms for the first day of class.
The department has a contracted laundry service and student participation is mandatory. This allows one set of uniforms to be professionally cleaned while the other set is in use by the student. The cost is projected to be $60 per student per semester and will be included in your tuition bill.
We require white undergarments with no print to be worn under uniforms. Non-porous, black, non-skid work shoes are required - no sneakers.
The only aprons acceptable must be solid black or white in color with no print. The only exception is the Alfred State aprons.
Jewelry is not permitted except for studded earrings in earlobes, plain wedding bands and a watch. Any other jewelry is not acceptable.
Per ServSafe, no fingernail polish, artificial or long nails permitted. Hair must be contained and off the shoulder.
