    For donations to be accepted, they must be:

    • Clean and in good repair, with no tears or stains
    • Recently washed
    • Adult-sized

    We do not accept donations of intimate items, such as:

    • Undergarments
    • Socks
    • Make-up

    Please note: Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if items are new and in original packaging.

    We recommend donations be appropriate for the current season, such as donating fall/winter clothes during the Fall semester and spring/summer clothes during the Spring semester. We also encourage donations of business and formal attire.

  • The way the Clothing Closet works is simple: take whatever you need! The Clothing Closet is here for you and your needs. We do not track the number of items a student chooses to take with them.

    Please note: We do recommend returning business and/or formal attire when you no longer need them so that every student can take advantage of them for things like job interviews.

  • To try on clothing, students will need to leave their Talon Card at the front desk, with a student assistant, then try their clothes on in a nearby bathroom. Talon Cards can be retrieved after the student returns from trying on their clothes.
