Student Advisory and Counseling Services

The Citadel supports all students in achieving academic, career, and life goals through effective, individualized advising.

Academic Faculty & Staff Advisor

Each student is assigned a faculty or professional staff advisor within their department who provides counsel concerning course selections and career paths within particular majors. Students are encouraged to visit their advisors throughout the year, and planning sessions are designated each semester during registration and preregistration.

In addition to each student being assigned an academic faculty or staff advisor, the Office of Student Affairs provides full-time professional advisors who assist and support academic advisors. These professional advisors help those students who benefit from extensive and frequent advising sessions, to include comprehensive academic planning and academic coaching.

TAC stands for Teacher, Advisor, and Coach. TACs serve as the primary integrator for cadet leader development and are the key assessors of cadet performance. They are available to coach and assist cadets in the execution of their leadership roles. TACs seek out reports from faculty, staff, and coaches to assist them in providing cadets with a holistic assessment of their strengths and weaknesses and regularly counsel and mentor cadets on their progression through the four-year model. Finally, TACs certify cadet performance in the Military, Moral-Ethical, and Physical Effectiveness Pillars.

Company Academic Advisor

Each cadet company has a specially chosen member of the faculty or staff whose responsibility is the academic wellbeing of all cadets in the company.  These advisors work closely with the TAC officer and the cadet chain-of-command to ensure that academic and military requirements are compatible and that cadets take advantage of academic resources available to them.  

Prelaw and Premedical Advising Services

Religious Activities

College years are exciting times of growth and challenge, which includes a student’s faith journey. All people have faith in something, whether it is religious, philosophical ideas, or personal ethical beliefs.

The Chaplain works to ensure all members of the Citadel Community have access to practice the free exercise of religion, is available for 100% confidential counseling, and runs a hospitality ministry available to all students.

Young Life

Campus Worship

Built in 1936, Summerall Chapel has held a special place in the life of the Corps of Cadets since its dedication. For for many of our cadets, it is a sanctuary, a safe haven away from the constraints and stresses of cadet life. Of course, it is also a place of worship for many in our community. Throughout the school year, there are weekly Protestant and Catholic services of worship on Sundays, and an Anglican worship service on Monday evenings. Cadets provide dynamic vibrant leadership in all of these services. Finally, it is for all who enter a place of prayer. It’s not uncommon throughout the week to find staff and faculty sitting in prayer. The inscription on Summerall Chapel, “Remember Now Thy Creator in the Days of Thy Youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1), embodies the focus of ministry at the chapel and its importance to cadets who need a source of strength beyond themselves.

Citadel Chapel Choirs

Three cadet chapel choirs enhance services of worship on campus. They are the Catholic Chapel Choir, the Interdenominational Protestant Choir and Gospel Choir. These three choirs combine for special events each year such as Parents’ Day, Homecoming Sunday, the Christmas Candlelight Services, and Corps Anniversary Sunday.

Greater Issues Series

The Greater Issues Series presents two or more major addresses each academic year. In 1954, the series was inaugurated by General Mark Clark to enhance the preparation of Citadel cadets for roles as responsible members of our society. Since then, these addresses have brought to The Citadel an impressive group of distinguished speakers including Presidents of the United States, American and foreign dignitaries, scholars, diplomats, important military figures, and business leaders.

Fine Arts Series

Inaugurated in 1965, the Fine Arts Series has presented annually a wide variety of programs which have been both entertaining and culturally illuminating. All fourth-class and third-class cadets are encouraged to attend one approved fine arts performance each semester.

Musical Organizations

The Citadel Regimental Band and Pipes provides music for concerts, parades, reviews, and other official ceremonies both on and off campus. Music for basketball games is provided by The Citadel Pep Band, a group of members from within the Regimental Band.

Academic Publications

Founded in the spring of 1993, El Cid is the publication of The Citadel’s Tau Iota Chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society. This publication is a refereed journal in Spanish that publishes select undergraduate and graduate creative writing. Only members of Tau Iota may be selected for the editorial team.

The Gold Star Journal, The Scholarly Journal of the Corps of Cadets and Citadel Graduate College, publishes nonfiction papers from any discipline. This journal is produced by a staff of cadets for Corps Day.

The Journal of the Scipio Africanus Society is published annually by a staff of cadets and serves as an outlet for cadet independent research in international affairs.

The Shako documents the literary and artistic achievements of Citadel cadets and graduate students. All submissions are compiled, edited and published annually by cadets for distribution throughout the Citadel community.

The Honor System

The Cadet Honor System provides a unique contribution to the overall developmental process of the Citadel Experience. As an integral part of Corps life, its purpose is to promote ethical growth and inculcate a sense of integrity in Citadel graduates so that they instinctively conduct themselves in an honorable manner. The Honor Code states that a “cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” The code is enforced and supervised by a Cadet Honor Committee composed of First Class cadets who are elected in the fall of their junior year by the Fourth, Third, and Second Class cadets within their companies. These Honor Committee representatives are responsible for educating and assisting their fellow cadets on the Honor System and interpreting the honor code. When a cadet is reported for an honor violation, the circumstances are thoroughly investigated by members of the Honor Committee. If there is a prima facie case established against the cadet, he or she appears before an Honor Court composed of 10 members of the Honor Committee. A cadet accused of an honor violation is entitled to cadet counsel, and cross examination is allowed. A finding that a cadet has committed an honor violation requires a unanimous secret vote by the Honor Court. If a cadet is found to have committed an honor violation, and if the President confirms the Honor Court’s decision, the cadet is expelled from the Corps of Cadets. Under rare circumstances, the cadet may be granted leniency from the punishment of expulsion. The Honor Committee is responsible directly to the President of the college. A faculty advisor assists the Honor Committee. This officer provides guidance to the Honor Committee and acts in an advisory capacity to the court at each Honor Court trial.

Department of Cadet Activities

This department, with offices located in Mark Clark Hall, provides activities and services for cadets to develop outside the classroom that allow them to broaden their talents and interests. Major activity areas include overseeing student government and the Official Citadel Mascot, publications, events, monthly blood drives, clubs and organizations. The department offers services to cadets, as well, such as the Ride-Drive Program, 4th Class Mentorship programs, social media pages, and community service opportunities.

Cadet Activities Publications

The Sphinx yearbook is the college yearbook of The Citadel. It is published annually in the spring by a staff of cadets. This publication serves as a semi-official record of the cadets’ year. The cost of this publication is incorporated into the spring semester tuition.

The Guidon, the handbook for the fourth class cadets, is published annually and is available online in early summer for the incoming freshmen. On Matriculation Day, each incoming cadet will receive a hard copy. This book contains a complete description of the activities of the Corps of Cadets, Citadel history, customs and courtesies, and duties and responsibilities of fourth class cadets.

Clubs, Groups and Organizations

Membership in a wide variety of clubs, groups and organizations is available to all Citadel students. All 100+ clubs fall under the four pillars of The Citadel: Academic, Military, Character and Physical. Among these are discussion groups, professional societies, military groups, athletic clubs and religious groups. The span of these activities is so broad and so varied that all Citadel students should be able to find organizations that fit their interests and talents.

Intramural, Club, and Recreational Athletics (ICRA)

Intramural, Club, and Recreational Athletics (ICRA) provide opportunities for all students to participate in extracurricular sports. We strive to improve cadet quality of life and the well-being of the college community.

Intramural Athletics

Intramurals are integral in student life with year-long competitive activities in individual sports and cadet company team sports. First and foremost, students should have fun playing intramurals, but participation also provides opportunities to develop leadership skills.

Club Sports

The ICRA Club Sports program provides the structure for a limited number of student-run competitive sports teams. We strive to operate safely while keeping the educational mission of the college at the forefront and within the limits of available resources.

Physical Recreation

The primary purpose of Deas Hall is to provide instructional support for students in the Department of Health and Human Performance (HHP), and to support activities of Intramural Athletics and Club Sports. Deas Hall is otherwise available to all students, faculty and staff.

Health Services

The Citadel Infirmary provides acute care services for cadets in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. These services include outpatient medical clinics on weekdays, a walk-in nurse clinic after hours and on weekends, and round-the-clock inpatient care (36 beds) during the academic year. In the summer, limited out- patient services are provided for cadets enrolled in summer programs. Inpatient services resume on 1 July.

The Infirmary staff includes a primary-care physician, a family nurse practitioner, a part-time orthopedic surgeon, staff nurses, nurse aides, an administrative assistant, and a receptionist. Certified athletic trainers conduct daily Sports Medicine clinics in the Infirmary to evaluate and treat orthopedic injuries. More serious injuries are referred to the Orthopedic Clinic (Monday and Friday mornings). Athletic trainers also provide coverage for intramural and intercollegiate athletics, on-campus military training, and club sports activities.

Infirmary services are covered by the cadet Infirmary fee. A small inpatient charge is added for daytime and overnight admissions. Supplemental services such as immunizations, medications, lab work, X-Rays, and ECGs are provided for cadets at our cost and are applied to the cadet’s OneCard Restricted Account. Prescriptions for medications not administered by the Infirmary are delivered by a local pharmacy which bills the cadet’s insurance or charges the cadet’s OneCard account. If desired, the Infirmary secretary can provide an itemized list of Infirmary charges for parents to file for insurance reimbursement. The Infirmary is not staffed to file insurance claims.

Cadets are required to carry student health insurance for all semesters they are present on campus. Student insurance is mandatory to defray the costs of hospitalization, emergency care, ambulance transportation, and/or specialty medical and surgical care. Charges for services not provided by the Infirmary must be settled directly with the medical provider. Cadets are required to notify the Infirmary immediately of any changes in insurance coverage.

The Citadel does not have contracts with any off-campus hospitals, urgent-care centers, pharmacies, or medical/surgical/dental providers. In the event of an emergency, two large medical centers are located within two miles of the campus and EMS ambulances are on call 24/7 for transport. For more information on insurance, please visit the website: http://www.citadel.edu/root/infirmary-incoming-students/insurance-info.

Department of Public Safety

The mission of the Department of Public Safety is to “ensure the safety and security of all persons and property on The Citadel campus.” Public safety officers are state-commissioned law enforcement officers operating under the authority of the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) with jurisdiction both on and off campus for incidents occurring on Citadel property. The Department of Public Safety is also responsible for enforcing campus parking regulations. Campus police may be reached at 953-5114. In an emergency, dial 811 from any campus phone.

Employment

The time of a cadet at The Citadel is filled with duties and obligations; however, there is opportunity for campus employment for cadets who believe they can manage the extra responsibility. The College offers a limited number of part-time positions with various campus activities as well as work-study jobs which are available to students with financial need. Employment is designed to provide for a modest portion of college expenses.
