Students Services



Student Success Center

The Citadel’s Student Success Center (SSC) provides a wide range of academic support services. Included among these are the enhancement of writing, mathematical, and reading skills; the general improvement of academic performance in all subject areas; and an emphasis on retention throughout The Citadel’s academic community. In addition to individual and small-group tutorials held in the Center, the staff conducts requested workshops for both graduate and undergraduate classes.

In all of its activities, the Center strives to assure that its efforts are consistent not only with the mission statement of The Citadel, but also with the objectives of the academic departments and specific graduate programs. Although there may be an occasional exceptional situation in which it is appropriate to restrict the nature of the assistance that may be offered by the Center (e.g., because of specific program accreditation issues that might impact, say, a particular assignment), all students are encouraged to take advantage of the resources offered by the Student Success Center.

Campus Alcohol and Drug Information Center (CADIC)

The Citadel prohibits the use of illegal drugs by faculty, staff, and cadets, and it supports only the legal use of prescription drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. The Citadel has a clear and unwavering policy of zero tolerance to drugs. Whether on or off campus, the possession, solicitation, distribution, sale or use of hallucinogenic, narcotic, other controlled drugs or substances, or any drug paraphernalia, except in accordance with a legal prescription for such substances for the student possessing and using it, will result in permanent expulsion. The Citadel reserves the right to test members of the Corps and conduct periodic searches of campus property for the presence of illegal drugs and controlled substances. The use of tobacco or smoking products of any type is prohibited on property owned or controlled by The Citadel except for campus residences (not including the barracks) and as authorized by the President. The Alcohol and Drugs Policy is here. The Tobacco-Product Free Campus Policy is here.

For private and confidential assistance with alcohol, tobacco and other drug concerns, please contact the Director of the Campus Alcohol and Drug Information Center (CADIC), Mr. Kevin M. Modglin, kmodglin@citadel.edu, 843-953-0510 [office], 843-813-6326 [cell/text]) or visit in Mark Clark Hall, Room 217. Remote appointments via Skype, Zoom, or FaceTime are also available.

Disability Services

Services for Students with Disabilities empowers students to manage challenges and limitations that may be characteristic of their particular disabilities. Our professionally trained staff provide students with exceptional services as they transition to college or continue their studies at The Citadel. The office serves students with learning, physical, health, or psychiatric disabilities by managing the varying demands of The Citadel experience. In addition, to serving students, the staff assists The Citadel community in making programs, services, and activities accessible to everyone. The Student Success Center provides services and academic accommodations for both graduate and undergraduate students with documented disabilities.

Office of Multicultural and International Student Services

Bridging together history, tradition & cultures within The Citadel Family and around the world, the Office of Multicultural and International Student Services enhances the undergraduate experience through co-curricular programs and culturally relevant services that are meant to empower students in their identity, build community, and help a diverse group of students find their individual and collective voices.

Veteran Student Success Center

The Citadel’s Veteran Student Success Center provides an array of resources and support for veteran students and those still serving in the military, as well as their dependents. In addition to providing a physical space where students can gather, the center serves as an on-ramp to navigating and accessing military-related education benefits.

Our services are intended to empower veteran and military students at every point in their academic journey, whether they are new to The Citadel, pursuing post-graduate work or seeking to enter the workforce.

Class Ring

All students graduating from bachelor degree programs and who are not part of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets are eligible for the undergraduate Class ring which is white gold. Students may order their ring upon completion of 90 credit hours of coursework applicable to the degree and must possess an overall 2.0 GPA.  To place a class ring order, contact the Alumni Center at (843) 953-7698. The Alumni Center will verify eligibility with the Registrar.

Housing

Housing in barracks is available to any student enrolled in classes at The Citadel during Summer School. However, it is not mandatory for any student to live on campus during Summer School. The online “Schedule of Summer Classes” provides information on the cost of living in barracks housing.

Parking

Ample and secure parking is available on campus for Graduate and undergraduate on-campus students and all on-campus summer school students. All automobiles parked within The Citadel gates are required to have a parking decal. Using your @nation.citaadel.edu email address to order and pay for your decal online at https://citadel.aimsparking.com/ and then pick it up in person at 208 Richardson If you cannot order the pass online, come by the office and it will be billed to your student account. Two and three wheeled motorized vehicles may not be operated on campus.

Recreation

Campus recreational facilities are available to students enrolled in classes. These facilities include the Deas Hall weight room, racquetball courts, swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis courts, track, boating center, and The Citadel Beach House located on the Isle of Palms. Students must show The Citadel identification card to use these facilities.

Student Identification Cards

Summer School students attending on-campus courses obtain a Citadel identification card as well as all students attending fall and spring terms. This card is necessary for accessing student services such as the library.

Cadets and Evening/Online Program

In some instances, students may decide to transfer from the South Carolina Corps of Cadets (SCCC) to an Evening or Online degree program. If a cadet is in good academic standing and is not serving a suspension or dismissal from the SCCC for disciplinary or honor issues, he or she may consider transfering into the Evening/Online Program.  To do so, cadets must sit out a year between their cadet enrollment and beginning in an undergraduate transfer program. 

As part of the application process, a review of the cadet’s transcripts will be made by the Associate Provost or designee, who will also explain the differences between the two programs, including a different class ring, diploma, and participation in the undergraduate commencement ceremony which is different from the Cadet ceremony.  Once the cadet enrolls as a student in the Evening/Online program the Registrar’s Office will amend the degree audit to reflect the differences in general education and degree requirements.

If a cadet has been suspended or dismissed from the SCCC for academic reasons and wishes to apply to a major in the Evening or online undergraduate program after serving the imposed punishment, the student is required to meet with the Associate Provost of Academic Affairs who will, if appropriate, create an academic improvement plan that the student agrees to follow as a condition of reinstatement to The Citadel. If a cadet is suspended or dismissed from the SCCC for non-academic reasons, admission into an undergraduate transfer program after serving the imposed punishment is contingent upon completing the criteria, if any, for reinstatement outlined in his or her special order. A copy of the special order, along with documented evidence of completion of the stipulations, should be presented to the Associate Provost of Academic Affairs, who will determine if all the conditions for reinstatement have been met.

Although transfer from the SCCC into the Evening or Online programs is usually permanent, a former cadet in good standing in one of these programs may petition to be readmitted to the SCCC. The student seeking reinstatement in the SCCC must make written application to the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, explaining the reason for the proposed transfer. The student must meet all criteria for readmission, and, if approved by the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs to return to the SCCC, must follow the readmission process as put forth in the SCCC catalog.

If a cadet has been expelled or resigned from the SCCC for any reason, he or she is not eligible to return to The Citadel in any program.
