Career Closet

Students can come by the career center Monday - Friday 8:00 - 4:00 without an appointment to try on clothing. We also offer clothing consultations, which can be scheduled with a staff member, who will give you suggestions on clothing and fit. These can be booked through the Navigate system as an appointment.

If you schedule a 30-minute clothing consultation appointment with a career counselor through Navigate we can provide you one-on-one advice and assistance in picking out an outfit. 

We have black, grey, and navy pants, jackets, and skirts available. Feminine presenting sizes range from 2 - 24 (regular), and masculine presenting sizes are 32 x 30/32 - 44 x 30/32 in pants and 38 - 56 in jackets. We have DKNY, The Limited, Tommy Hilfger, Anne Klein, Kasper, Saddlebred, and Calvin Klein brands.

You could wear professional clothes like suites or dress slacks/skirts to events like career fairs, interviews, conferences, presentations, and many other special events. 

You can keep the clothing for up to one week (7 days). If you need an extended period of time (up to 2 weeks), you can request this at checkout. 

Yes! We will not charge you any fees unless the items are returned late, are damaged, or need to be replaced.

If you return items late, there is a $5.00 per day fee per item. If an item is damaged but repairable, we will charge you $25.00 per item. If the item is damaged beyond repair and needs to be replaced or if you have kept the item longer than 15 days past the due date, you will be charged $100 for pants/skirts and $200 for jackets. These fees will be charged to your student account.

No, you do not need to clean the clothes before returning them. If the item has stains or needs an in-depth cleaning, you will be charged the repair fee. Otherwise, the CCPD will have the clothes cleaned for you. 

Each item is steamed and sanitized before being returned to the rack for future use. All worn items will be deep-cleaned four times a year. 

Unfortunately, we are not accepting clothing donations at this time. We only offer students suit jackets, pants, and skirts, all purchased new. If you want to donate clothing, please consider the following locations in Sylva: Goodwill, Great Smokies Health Foundation, Pathways, Teen Challenge of the Smokies; Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina.
