Purpose of the CGC Catalog

This catalog should not be construed as the basis of a contract between a student and The Citadel. Every effort is made to provide information in the catalog that is accurate at the time the catalog is prepared. However, information on regulations, policies, fees, curricula, courses, and other matters is subject to change at any time during the period for which the catalog is in effect.

Each program of study shall be governed by the program requirements in effect on the date of enrollment. If a student withdraws from the college or fails to maintain enrollment for one year and subsequently returns, the catalog requirements in effect at the time of return will prevail. Any exception to policies in this catalog, purported to have been made verbally to a student by an official of the college, are null and void unless documented with a signed statement from the college official authorized to make the exception.

This catalog is not an unchangeable contract but an announcement of the current policies. Implicit in each student’s matriculation at The Citadel is an unwritten agreement to comply with the institution’s rules and regulations, which The Citadel may modify to ensure the quality of its academic programs. When graduation requirements are changed, every effort will be made to insure that the new requirements can be met by the student’s original expected graduation date. Nonetheless, each student is expected to read and be aware of the policies and procedures contained in the catalog in order to assure that admissions, registration, and graduation procedures are being followed. The college cannot assume responsibility for a student who does not comply with policy or procedure.
