School dress for college class (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uniform

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

'school dress' is the definition.
'uniform' can be an answer for 'dress' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'school' bit.

'college class' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'uni' (short for university).
'class' becomes 'form' (synonyms).
'uni'+'form'='UNIFORM'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uniform that I've seen before include "Official clothing" , "Unchanging, showing no variation" , "Services' clothing" , "Outfit; consistent" , "Regular sort of formal outfit" .)

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