College paperwork for school clothes? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uniforms

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clothes?' is the definition.
(uniforming is a kind of clothing)

'college paperwork' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'uni' (short for university).
'paperwork' becomes 'forms' (I've seen this before).
'uni'+'forms'='UNIFORMS'

'for school' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uniforms that I've seen before include "Clothes for the forces" , "Distinctive clothing for members" , "Distincitve clothing for members" , "Clothes worn by members of a group" , "Official liveries" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
