Uniform and Culinary Department Guidelines
WELCOME TO THE SRJC CULINARY ARTS DEPARTMENT!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS
Kitchen Attire
Students should wear long pants and an apron. Long hair must be restrained. For safety, students should wear sturdy, closed toe shoes with non-slip soles. It is preferred that SRJC culinary certificate students wear their full culinary uniform to class and adhere to all professional standards.
Parking
All students and staff must purchase a permit to park in any SRJC parking lot this Fall. The Burdo Culinary Arts Center has two paid permit parking lots directly in front of our building. Areas where parking is not allowed include the alley next to the building, the parking lot behind our building, or the funeral home’s parking lot. Regulations regarding the 1-hour street parking are strictly enforced by the Santa Rosa Police Department. On Thursdays and Fridays when the Café and Bakery are open to the public, no student or staff parking is allowed in the lot directly in front of the Burdo Culinary Arts Center.
Beverages
According to the California Food Code: “A food employee may drink from a closed beverage container if the container is handled to prevent contamination of the employee’s hands, the container, and food contact surfaces.” Students should plan to bring their own unbreakable, closed beverage container to class. For sanitation reasons, drinks should be placed and/or consumed only in designated areas. Your instructor will inform you of where that is.
Food
Students should not eat during lecture class. Tasting should occur only in designated areas in the kitchen under the supervision of your instructor. Leftovers will be distributed at the discretion of the instructor. It’s a good idea to bring your own to-go container.
Visitors
Only enrolled students are allowed in classes. No visitors are allowed during class time, including friends or family.
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited not only on the college’s property, but also within 20 feet of all Sonoma County Junior College District property. This policy applies to vape pens as well.

If a student needs accommodation of any kind due to a disability, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the SRJC Disability Resources Department and to also inform the instructor before the first day of class. Learn more about the Disability Resources Department.

Other Important Policies and Practices
Avoid Plagiarism Like the, er, Plague
Although most students have likely heard about plagiarism during their years of schooling, it still is prevalent-even in higher education.
The video below reviews what plagiarism is and how not to do it.
Netiquette, or Why Is It Harder to Be Polite Online?
Netiquette refers to using common courtesy in online communication. All members of the class are expected to follow netiquette in all course communications. Use these guidelines:
- Use capital letters sparingly. THEY LOOK LIKE SHOUTING.
- Forward emails only with a writer's permission.
- Be considerate of others' feelings and use language carefully.
- Cite all quotations, references, and sources (otherwise, it is plagiarism).
- Use humor carefully. It is hard to "read" tone; sometimes humor can be misread as criticism or personal attack. Feel free to use emoticons like :) for a smiley face to let others know you are being humorous.
- Use complete sentences and standard English grammar to compose posts. Write in proper paragraphs. Review work before submitting it.
- Text speak, such as "ur" for "your" or "ru" for "are you" etc., is only acceptable when texting.
Special Needs
Students with disabilities who believe they need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact Disability Resources (527-4278), as soon as possible to better ensure such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion
