Intellectual Property
Ownership of intellectual property will reside with the originator,
whether a member of the faculty, a member of the staff, or a
student, unless: (a) the property is created at the specific direction
of the College; or (b) the originator has made exceptional use of
College resources in creating it.
At the time when the work is directed by the College or at the
time when the College makes exceptional resources available to the
originator of intellectual property, the Provost and the originator
will together determine ownership and will negotiate a written
agreement concerning that property. These determinations will be
made on a case-by-case basis.
Intellectual Property Policy Preamble
The Citadel has among its primary purposes teaching, research,
and the expansion and dissemination of knowledge. Products of
these endeavors include the development and use of intellectual
property. It is the policy of the College that its faculty, staff,
and students carry out their scholarly work in an open and free
atmosphere that encourages publication and creation of such works
without constraint but consistent with applicable laws and College
policy. This policy will be in accord with the guidelines and criteria
published in The American Association of University Professors’
“Statement of Copyright” (Policy Documents and Reports. Ninth
Edition, 2001, or subsequent editions).
Nondiscrimination Policy
The Citadel is committed to providing equal opportunities to
men and women students in all campus programs, including
intercollegiate athletics, in order to make The Citadel the best
coeducational college in America.
This commitment requires that no discrimination shall occur in
our admissions policies, academic programs or services, as well
as employment practices on the basis of sex, race, color, religion
or national origin. This policy is in accordance with Title IX
of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 as amended. Inquiries concerning the application of
Title IX and other nondiscrimination laws may be referred to The
Citadel’s Affirmative Action Officer and Title IX Coordinator,
Bond Hall, Room 369, 171 Moultrie Street, Charleston, South
Carolina, 29409, 843-953-6989, or the Assistant Secretary of
Education, Civil Rights Division, US Department of Education,
Washington, DC 20201-2516.
Pass-Fail Courses
For certain courses, such as internships, practica, workshops,
professional development courses, etc., a grade of pass or fail may
be appropriate. Students taking courses of this nature need to
discuss such arrangements with their advisor. Quality points will
not be awarded for pass or fail work, and performance that is barely
adequate (C+ or below) will not receive credit.
Registration
Registration is not completed until all fees are paid. Students may
not attend class until they are fully registered. Knowingly attending
class without paying is an integrity violation. Any changes in
registration must be made prior to the end of the terms’ Add/Drop
period. All fees are due by published calendar dates.
Repeating a Course
Courses may be repeated only under the following circumstances:
a. No courses may be repeated once a grade of “B” or higher
has been earned.
b. If a class in which a “C+” or “C” was earned is repeated, it
may be repeated only one time.
c. If a course is repeated, the last grade of record is used
to determine whether course requirements for graduation
have been met.
d. The hours may be used only once toward graduation.
e. All courses, previously passed or repeated, will be figured in
the student’s GPR. No grade previously recorded is
removed from the transcript.
Satisfactory Progress
and Length of Academic Program
Unless otherwise stated, students are expected to complete all
degree requirements within a six (6) year period from the time
of registration for the first graduate course in that program.
Students enrolled in the Ed.S. in School Psychology program
have seven (7) years to complete the degree. Students enrolled
in the M.A. in Psychology: Clinical Counseling degree program
have a five (5) year limit. Requests for a waiver must be initiated
by the student in writing to the appropriate Department Head
who is responsible for making the final decision and for notifying
the student. Department Heads will forward recommendations
through their appropriate Dean who sends it to the CGC office.
This recommendation will be subject to the final approval of the
CGC Dean. Waivers must be on file in the CGC office prior to
application for graduation. It is the students responsibility to
ensure the waiver is provided to the CGC office.
If a waiver is granted, a probationary extension for one year
is authorized. At the completion of that year, an additional
extension may be authorized (if necessary) contingent upon the
student having made adequate progress. “Adequate Progress” is
defined as completing graduate work in two of the three semesters
(summer session counting as a semester) of the year of probation.
An average grade of “B” (3.0) for that year is also required. At all
levels, the department or school will be responsible for oversight of
