Student Support Programs, Services, and Activities



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.

Office of Multicultural Student Services

Veteran Student Success Center
