letter from her mosque before the university would allow her to wear her headscarf on campus, local news outlet WTKR-TV reported on Friday.

“If I am ever stopped and asked who I am … I want to have all the proof that I can that I am a student here,” she told the station when asked about why she carries the official papers with her everywhere she goes. “I don’t want to have to go through anything like I went through in the first place.”

A historically black university in southeastern Virginia, Hampton specifies in its dress code that students “seeking approval to wear headgear as an expression of religious or ...” need to make a written request through the chaplain, who then has to ask the student affairs vice president “for final approval.”

The dress code does not mention students also needing a letter from their mosque.

Because Hampton is a private school, it is free to impose stricter dress codes than a public university would be allowed to.

A spokesperson for the university did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
