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 are 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 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. Procedural Information Application and Admissions The application process at The Citadel Graduate College (CGC) is a two-part process that occurs simultaneously. The applicant must be accepted into CGC and the program to which he/she seeks a degree. Requirements for acceptance into CGC include: a. Completed application for admission b. Non-refundable application fee c. Transcripts submitted directly from all colleges and universities attended. Transcripts from all schools are required, regardless of whether the coursework would apply to a degree program, to ensure good academic and financial standing. d. A standardized admissions test (GRE, GMAT, or MAT depending on the program) score. Upon receipt of an application, each applicant is sent a letter acknowledging the application and outlining specific admission requirements for CGC and the program for which he/she applied. The requirements for acceptance into specific programs and degrees are described in this catalog for each program/degree. Official copies of test scores must be sent directly to the CGC office and must be current within five years of application. Full acceptance is not granted until both CGC and program requirements are met. After acceptance by the program, any non- US Citizen must be cleared for registration by The International Office. The TOEFL test is required of any applicant whose native language is not English. At this time a letter of acceptance is sent to the student which includes the name of the advisor. Students are encouraged to meet with his or her advisor. Application for Resident Status Any student or prospective student who is uncertain concerning entitlement to payment of in-state tuition and fees has the responsibility of securing a ruling from The Citadel by providing all relevant information on special application forms. These forms can be obtained from the Office of the Registrar, Bond Hall, Room 173, or online at http://www.citadel.edu/registrar/forms/ and are to be completed and returned to that office at least two weeks prior to registration for any semester or summer term for which the student is attempting to qualify for payment of in-state tuition and fee rate. CGC Class Ring All CGC students graduating from degree programs are eligible for the CGC Class ring. CGC students may order their ring upon completion of all but the final two semesters of coursework/ internship and must possess an overall 2.0 GPA for undergraduate students or 3.0 GPA for graduate students. To place a class ring order, contact the Alumni Center at (843) 953-7698. The Alumni Center will verify eligibility with the CGC office. 8
Drop/Add and Withdrawals To drop or add a course from the schedule or to change sections within a course, a student must come to the CGC office and complete a “drop/add” form. The deadline for changes is listed in the calendar for each semester. Students who have Lesesne Gateway accounts may drop/add on the web. Formal notice of intent to drop or withdraw from any class is necessary in all cases. After the drop period, students who choose to withdraw must complete a withdrawal form available in the CGC office or online. The dates for dropping and withdrawing are listed in the term calendar at www.citadel.edu/graduatecollege. Course withdrawal means a student is withdrawing from a course after the refund date has passed. A grade of “W” will appear on the student transcript. The “W” does not affect the student’s grade point ratio (GPR). To withdraw with the grade of “W,” the student must complete the course withdrawal form obtained from the CGC office or online and return the form to the CGC office. Students who do not follow this procedure will receive a failing grade in the course(s) which they cease to attend. Ceasing to attend a course does not constitute an official withdrawal from the course. The grade of “W” will be recorded if a student withdraws on or before the published deadline. Students should check the current calendar for the term found at www.citadel.edu/graduatecollege for deadlines. Fee Payment All fees are due and payable at the time of registration. If fees are not paid by the published date on the term calendar, prior to classes starting, the student may be dropped from registered classes. Checks for the amount of charges should be made payable to The Citadel. Fees may also be paid with bank cards, however a service fee is incurred. Electronic check payment is also available at no charge. Deferred payment plans may be arranged in advance of a semester through a third party. Forms are available in the Treasurer’s office. The Citadel reserves the right at any time to adjust fees to meet the current cost of operation. Fee schedules are published each semester on The Citadel’s web page. The Citadel Treasurer is responsible for the collection of monies due The Citadel. All correspondence concerning fees, payments, and status of accounts should be directed to that office. Financial Aid and Scholarships The Financial Aid Office handles student loan applications, grants, scholarships and work-study programs. Forms and Deadlines To apply for financial aid at The Citadel, all students should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1. These forms are available online at http:// FAFSA.ed.gov. Additional information may be requested by the Financial Aid Office. Students are responsible for checking their Lesesne Gateway accounts and completing all requested paperwork and financial aid requirements in a timely manner. Because funds are limited, those students whose applications are completed after the deadline dates will receive consideration for aid only as fund availability permits. Priority deadline dates are as follows: Academic year (fall and spring) February 28 Fall only February 28 Spring only October 15 Summer March 15 Applicants with financial aid paperwork not completed by June 30 should not expect to receive notification of awards prior to the beginning of fall semester. These applicants should be prepared to pay for their tuition, fees, and other costs at the established fee payment deadlines. Students will be reimbursed if they are subsequently determined to be eligible for financial aid. Determining Financial Need The amount of financial aid is determined based on the FAFSA form the applicant files after January each year. This form solicits information about the applicant’s family’s current financial situation and produces an “expected family contribution”. Adjusted gross income data from tax forms are used along with current asset information to determine family resources. Allowances are made for federal and state taxes, social security, employment (when both parents work), unusual medical and dental expenses, and family size. Other factors considered are any unusual expenses and the number of family members in college. In its simplest definition, financial need is the difference between what a student will pay to attend college and the expected family contribution, as determined by the need analysis. If costs exceed the amount of family contribution, then the applicant has “demonstrated” financial need. Dependent or Independent Status Federal student aid programs are based on the premise that parents have the primary responsibility of financing their children’s education. Independent students will fall into one of the following categories. Students are automatically independent and therefore not required to submit parental data if: a. He/she is 24 years old or older by Dec 31 of the award year b. He/she is a graduate student c. He/she is married d. He/she is currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training e. He/she is a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces f. He/she has children (or other dependents) and will provide more than half of their support g. He/she was in foster care or deemed a dependent or ward of the court h. He/she was an emancipated minor or in legal guardianship as determined by a court i. He/she was determined to be an unaccompanied youth that was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless. 9
